Research
Dr. Joanne Lyubovnikova’s research focuses on enhancing team effectiveness, moral-based leadership, and innovation within organisational settings, with a particular emphasis on healthcare environments. Her work examines how leadership styles—such as authentic and servant leadership—influence team dynamics and performance. Notably, she has explored the distinction between "real teams" and "co-acting groups" in healthcare, demonstrating that well-structured teams with shared goals and interdependence are linked to improved outcomes, including lower staff turnover and reduced patient mortality.
Through her research, Dr. Lyubovnikova bridges the gap between theory and practice, with the aim of providing evidence-based insights to improve team functioning and leadership effectiveness in complex organisational contexts.
