03 / DBA research
Evidence for better engineering workplaces.
My doctoral research examines the relationship between perceived leadership style and employees' intention to remain, with employee autonomy as a hypothesised mediator. A separate research question examines the association between intention to remain and perceived business performance.
DBA research titleLeadership Style and Talent Retention in Indian Engineering Consulting Companies: The Mediating Role of Employee Autonomy
RQ1, RQ2 & RQ4 · Hypothesised mediation
Leadership, autonomy and intention to remain
- Perceived leadership style
- Employee autonomy Mediator
- Intention to remain Retention indicator
The total and direct leadership–intention-to-remain relationships are estimated within RQ4 alongside the indirect relationship through autonomy.
RQ3 · Separate downstream association
Intention to remain ↔ Perceived business performance
This association is examined separately and is outside the mediation test. Performance covers perceived knowledge continuity, schedule reliability, rework, utilisation stability, client satisfaction and delivery consistency.
Talent retention is examined through employees' self-reported intention to remain, while business performance is assessed through perceived delivery and organizational outcomes. This cross-sectional, self-reported study evaluates hypothesised associations and does not establish causality. It does not use audited financial performance or observed employee exits as outcome measures.
Leadership evidence in engineering consulting
The study focuses on a knowledge-intensive Indian sector where technical capability is critical but leadership, autonomy and retention remain under-examined together.
Actionable insight for engineering leaders
The findings are expected to inform leadership practice, autonomy within technical controls, and future research on intention to remain and perceived organizational performance.
