Nishani est professeur associé dans le département Hommes et Organisations de NEOMA Business School. Elle a un doctorat de Harvard Business School et un bachelor de Princeton University. Dans ses recherches, Nishani explore comment les normes profondément enracinées façonnent les expériences des individus et des organisations pendant des périodes de transition et de changement. Elle mobilise des méthodes de recherche qualitatives et quantitatives pour son travail. Elle a étudié notamment: comment les anesthésistes français qui pratiquent l’hypnose au bloc opératoire s’éloignent des normes de leur profession et réinventent leur travail ; comment les normes de responsabilité internalisées pendant la vie professionnelle d’anciens chauffeurs de métro parisiens altèrent leurs expériences quand ils sont promus managers. D’autres travaux s’intéressent aux normes sociétales au sens large et au rôle que ces normes peuvent jouer quand une organisation décide de changer de pratiques organisationnelles. Nishani se focalise sur les enjeux de l’adoption de pratiques moins hiérarchiques, et sur divers pratiques de compensation dans le contexte culturel français. Sa recherche est publiée dans des journaux tels que *Administrative Science Quarterly, Organization Science*, *Journal of Management Studies*, et *Harvard Business Review*. Elle a remporté plusieurs prix pour ses recherches, notamment le *AOM Best Published Paper Award* (Careers Division) et le *Prix Académique de la Recherche en Management,* décerné par Syntec Conseil et la FNEGE. Avant de rejoindre l’univers académique, Nishani a travaillé dans la finance, en négociant des produits à revenu fixe à Wall Street.
