Contributions [1][edit]

Ramadhar Singh has contributed mainly in field of Psychology, Organisational Behavior, Public Policy and Research Methods. He has been the sole author (32.62%) and the first author (43.97%) in 76.59% of his 116 publications and the papers in which he was listed as a second author as the basic research was done by his students or collaborators in Singapore or India. From Asian studies in international journals results, he played a central role in research and publishing the results.

Well renowned outlets such as Journal of Applied Psychology[2], Organizational Behavior and Human Performance[3], and Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes[4] are top-level journals in well known schools of management. In these journals, five publications were solely based on Indian data and authored by Ramadhar Singh.He successfully published his findings in prime international journals of general personality, developmental and social psychology.[5]

In the month of May, 2016 Ramadhar Singh had 570 citations on his writings in 426 journal articles by other few scholars. Those articles (with percentage of citations were separately calculated to assess his multidisciplinary impact) were mainly published on the following fields:-

1.     Psychology (63.86 %)

2.     Management (17.02%)

3.     Humanities and social sciences (14.21%)

4.     Miscellaneous disciplines (4.91%)

He had given his appointments at IIM-A and IIM-B, regarding the fields of his interest such as organisational behavior and human resource management. It conveys that his writings had created a huge impact on this area rather than other areas. His articles were also referred to and cited in the articles published in various fields such as general management, marketing, finance, decision support systems, and innovation. Even his training as an experimental psychologist, in these fields his articles was most influential; and citations by general and developmental psychologists are also notable. Moreover, his impact ranges from animal psychology (or comparative psychology) to cognitive psychology. It is unsurprising that Norman H. Anderson, who advanced information integration theory [6](Anderson, 1981, 1982), described Ramadhar Singh's (1991) chapter on imputations about missing information in decision making as “a tour de force in cognitive psychology” (p. 142).
