Jemma B King is a Research fellow at University of Queensland working in the area of human performance.[1] King's research initially focused on psychological preparedness of Australian soldiers facing combat.[2] The work has informed training models used by Special forces of Australia and, later, the Australian Olympic team.[3] King's research has been published by Australian Army Journal and Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport.[4][5]
Career
Having completed dual degrees in science (psychology) and business management, King earned a PhD in Human Behaviour, supervised by Prof Neal Ashkanasy, at UQ Business School.[6][7] Her thesis, "Emotional intelligence and its effects on biomarkers of workplace stress" examined ways soldiers from Australia's 2nd Commando Regiment may psychologically prepare for high-stress conditions of combat.[8][9]
King's academic work has included contributing to Mission Critical Team Summit at Wharton Business School.[10] Her peer-reviewed research articles have largely been on the theme of how emotional intelligence affects the human experience of stress, as measured by cortisol. Since 2017, these papers have focused more on EI in specific environments, such as education settings.[11]
While continuing her research at UQ, King lectures at University of Sydney Business School.[12]
King's clinical and training work has extended from special forces operators to athletes, and more recently, to professional environments.[13] In 2018, King was invited by John Bertrand and Lieutenant General Rick Burr to facilitate Operation Resilience, a collaboration between Swimming Australia and the Australian Army.[2] The aim was to enable athletes to regulate stress reactions in order to optimise performance at the Olympics. In the program, 180 athletes and coaches trained with soldiers at the Special Operations Training and Education Centre.[2]
Awards and recognition
In 2015, King was awarded the 2015 Army Research Scheme by Director of Research Strategic Plans – Australian Army HQ.[9]
Her joint presentation, "Bringing physiology back into IO Psychology" was named Best Paper at the Australian Psychological Society's 12th Industrial and Organisational Psychology Conference in 2017.[14]
