Current research

Cagla Dayangan’s PhD research investigates uncertainty management in consumer decision-making, with a focus on self-uncertainty and its impact on consumer behaviour in luxury retail environments. Her work examines how contextual factors give rise to uncertainty, shaping consumer preferences, coping mechanisms, and identity-related motives. Specifically, her research explores (1) the role of cognitive appraisals in how consumers interpret and respond to self-uncertainty, (2) how identity motives influence compensatory consumption and decision-making processes, and (3) the interplay between contextual challenges and consumer coping strategies in shaping luxury consumption preferences.

Grounded in consumer psychology theories, her research aims to unravel the complex interplay shaping consumer decisions in today’s digital and data-driven marketing landscape. Cagla’s work contributes to understanding the psychological drivers of consumer decision-making in uncertain environments, offering practical insights for businesses seeking to build meaningful connections with their audiences. Her PhD research is conducted under the supervision of Professors Paurav Shukla, Jaywant Singh, and Dr. Steve Chen.

Biography

Cagla Dayangan is a Postgraduate Researcher at Southampton Business School, specializing in marketing with a focus on managing uncertainty in unpredictable and volatile environments. Her research explores uncertainty management in decision-making processes, encompassing both consumer-centric perspectives and firm-level strategic adaptation.

On the consumer side, Cagla examines how contextual factors that give rise to uncertainty influence consumer coping and decision-making. Her work investigates diverse identity motives, cognitive appraisals, and compensatory consumption, addressing broader themes such as identity-related dilemmas, distinct motives, and uncertainty management in consumer decisions. While her current PhD research focuses on self-uncertainty in luxury retail settings, her interests extend to understanding how uncertainty and coping strategies shape consumer preferences and judgments across various contexts. By examining the dynamic interplay between context and individual responses, her research provides valuable insights into the psychological drivers behind consumer decision-making.

On the firm side, Cagla investigates how businesses and brands manage uncertainty, focusing on dynamic capabilities, relocation strategies, and resilience-building in global markets. Her research spans both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) contexts, exploring strategic ambidexterity, entrepreneurial orientation, and performance relationships in international marketing, as well as consumer trust and reactions to firm decisions such as reshoring and nearshoring. By examining sustainability motives, relational investments, and strategic adaptation, her work bridges organizational and consumer perspectives in uncertain market environments.
