Elaine Wong’s teaching and research interests are in the areas of interpersonal and organizational communication, leadership, and groups and teams. Her research examines social perceptions and how they affect group processes and performance. Wong’s current research projects focus on how counterfactual communication (i.e. communication of thoughts about how things could have been different) influences impression formation and performance, how business journalists’ impressions and portrayals of various firms’ top management teams are related to corporate social responsibility and firm financial performance, and how impressions affect employees’ psychological responses to mergers.
