Research

John Hayes' research interests focus on cognitive style and processes of change and development in organisations. He has developed, in collaboration with Dr Christopher W. Allinson, the Cognitive Style Index, a measure of information processing style, and has undertaken several studies which have explored the relevance of cognitive style for management practice. These have included studies of individual learning, leadership, mentoring and entrepreneurial orientation. Recent work has focused on the extent to which cognitive style can be meaningfully applied to facilitate learning at the level of the organisation as well as the individual. This work has focused on ways in which the consideration of cognitive style can improve the effectiveness of interventions designed to improve individual and organisational performance.
