Biography

Her research on group processes and intergroup relations is inspired by theories on social identity and psychological group commitment. From this perspective, she addresses a range of topics including the effects of power and status differences within and between groups, diversity and innovation in teams and organizations, career development of women and minorities, motivation and commitment in work teams, and ethical norms and moral behavior in (professional) groups. She has also used the scientific knowledge thus acquired for applied work, consultation, and professional development, for instance on work-family issues, implicit bias and career development, the motivation of volunteer workers, and governance of organizational cultures and ethical climates.
