Andra Toader is a Senior Lecturer at the Business School of Manchester Metropolitan University. Her research focuses on team cognition, leadership, creativity, and organizational behavior. She examines how cognitive processes and team dynamics influence leadership effectiveness, ethical decision-making, and creative performance. Her work also explores the impact of environmental design on creativity and the role of knowledge recombination in innovation.
Key research interests include team mental models, leadership accountability, and adaptive performance in dynamic environments. She investigates how organizational climates evolve over time and how task variation affects team learning transfer. Her experimental studies highlight the effects of environmental cues, such as nature-inspired designs, on divergent thinking and problem-solving.
Her articles analyze micro-processes of knowledge integration in teams, dual ethical-creative goal conflicts, and the reinterpretation of problem-solving frameworks. Findings emphasize cognitive alignment, collaborative learning mechanisms, and the balance between ethical constraints and creative freedom.
While no specific awards or grants are noted, her contributions bridge cognitive science and organizational behavior, offering insights for improving team performance and workplace environments.
