Dr. Reichard's research interests focus on (1) the impact of leader development interventions over time and (2) examination and refinement of key organizational behavior constructs.

Within the first research stream regarding leader development intervention impact, Dr. Reichard has published (The Leadership Quarterly) and is revising multiple meta-analyses on all prior leader development programs, which include published and file drawer studies. In addition, she has two 20-year longitudinal studies continuing. The first is with her co-authors on the Fullerton Longitudinal Study (4 papers published in The Leadership Quarterly) examining the early developmental precursors of adult leader emergence and development. She also recently published a co-edited book on this topic, 'Early development and leadership.' The second longitudinal study is in association with the Soaring with Eagles Foundation, where Dr. Reichard has been awarded a 20 year research contract for over $1 million to track leaders' development over time. Working with a team of CGU students (both MA and PhD), she is examining the development of cross-cultural psychological skills in leaders through longitudinal, qualitative, and quasi-experimental intervention studies. Finally, working with another team of CGU students, Dr. Reichard has developed a leader developmental assessment center to assess and develop 'every day' leaders in the community.  Click here for more information on leadership development opportunities.

Within the second research stream on examining and refining key organizational behavior constructs, Dr. Reichard is interested in conducting research that assesses what we know about this burgeoning research area and provides guidance for areas in need of future research. As such, Dr. Reichard is conducting multiple meta-analyses on organizational behavior constructs including 'psycap' and work outcomes (Human Resources Development Review), hope and work outcomes, and hope and academic outcomes. She also conducts research in the area of leadership and employee engagement, on which she has two recent publications with CGU students (Journal of Leadership and Organizational Psychology, Consulting Psychology Journal).

Her work has been published in Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, The Leadership Quarterly, and Journal of Managerial Psychology. She serves on the editorial review board of Journal of Leadership and Organizational Studies and has reviewed for The Leadership Quarterly and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes. She recently co-edited a book titled Early Development and Leadership: Building the Next Generation of Leaders.
