Risky mainly concentrates on aspects of management psychology. She is greatly interested in workplace diversity (specifically genders, races, sexual orientations, and psychological conditions), coaching, and occupational health. Throughout her research activities, she has worked with organisations (including Indonesian state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, and family firms) that were interested in understanding further the management psychology aspects of their organisations. In one of her works with a state-owned enterprise (SOE), she developed a mentoring and coaching system that would fit the SOE's cultural context and trained managerial level employees to develop their psychological capital through action learning. She's also interested in raising awareness of well-being at work and what organisations can do to manage their employees' occupational health and to reduce work-related burnout. These days, Risky's research interest includes online gaming and fan-related works. Online streamers, fan artists, and cosplayers have raised in popularity like never before yet not much has been done to create a safe working environment for them.

Past Research
In the past, Risky has done research on Psychological Contracts among Indoneisan State Owned Enterprise's employees. She finds the context of State Owned Enterprise in South East Asia as really interesting. Her research explored employees' perception of psychological contract, which seemed to be affected by the culture and the type of company they were in.
Her PhD concentrated on the concept of coping in organisational change, as well as the role of individual differences in this - specifically personality traits and emotional intelligence. She also explored the relationship between aspects of strategic & human resource management (such as organisational change, organisational development, etc) and applied psychology theories (such as individual differences, coping behaviours, etc).
Future Research
In the future, Risky is planning on exploring the use of Action Learning approach in contributing to students' overall experience and well-being.
