I work as an Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Department of HRM & OB at the University of Groningen, and I hold lecturer positions at the University of St.Gallen, Switzerland, and at the University of Bern, Switzerland. I have a background in Business Administration (B.A.) and in Labor Economics and Personnel Psychology (M.Sc.), and received my PhD in Strategy and Management from the University of St.Gallen, Switzerland. My research focuses on non-archetypical teamwork (i.e., multiple and dynamic team membership), new forms of leadership and work, and multilevel theory/methods.

PhD student in medical education, resident.

My PhD research is about the challenges which newcomer residents face when starting their residency. The challenges of residents in transition or twofold; firstly they have to find out how to deliver patient care, secondly they have to become member of the team, department and hospital. In occupational psychology, those challenges are identified as Organizational Socialization, which we use as analytical framework. My supervisors are prof. dr. Götz Wietasch, prof.dr. Debbie Jaarsma, dr. Robbert Duvivier and dr. Jasperina Brouwer.

During my PhD, I will investigate how leader gender affects the advantages and disadvantages that come with holding a senior position. Findings from this investigation will generate valuable insight into how the experiences of women in senior positions differ from those of men, and how to aid women once they have acquired a leadership position.

Coordination dynamics within multiteam systems, Disruption management, Organizational resilience, Social network analysis

My current research explores how individuals, teams, and organizations effectively share information under high time pressure, uncertainty, and risk of disruptions and crises. Some of the contexts where I have conducted my research are virtual hackathons and critical infrastructure organizations (NWO project 1, project 2). I primarily work with digital communication data and apply social network analysis to understand how information-sharing patterns affect the team and organizational performance and resilience.

My research interests focus on negative workplace situations (e.g., layoffs) and how they shape behaviors, cognitions, and emotions in individuals and interactions between leaders and followers. I have a special interest in examining how positive outcomes can be fostered in the wake of negative experiences, how individuals cope with these stressful events, and identifying as well as curtailing the potential of negative workplace encounters (e.g., identity threats, legitimacy). In a second research stream, I am focusing on applied quantitative research methods (i.e., mediation analysis, scale-anchors) and engage in providing best-practice recommendations to improve research designs (i.e., causality in mediation analyses) and data collection (i.e., equal-distance in scale anchors). In addition, I focus on work-related factors that promote resilience in leaders and how we can successfully measure resilience in the workplace.

I am interested in whether organizational gender diversity interventions are effective for different ethnic and racial groups of women. In line with this, I investigate how gender diversity interventions can be designed with intersectional considerations to improve individual and organizational outcomes across different intersections of gender and race.
