Mission Statement
We investigate the experiences, behavior, and well-being of individuals and teams in organizations. Our research focuses on dynamic interaction processes in organizations. We identify systematic behavioral patterns that explain how dynamic team processes and interactions between managers and employees unfold and develop over time, thereby contributing to organizational learning and organizational change. A particular focus is on meetings as a central setting for interaction in organizations.
We also investigate systematic interaction patterns in coaching.
Across these topics, we apply quantitative interaction analysis, qualitative interview methods, and survey methodology. Moreover, we build a bridge between psychology and computer science in several interdisciplinary collaborations, using immersive XR technology, social signal processing, and machine learning.
