About

I work as an Assistant Professor in Organizational Psychology at Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
In my research, I focus on how stable individual differences, such as the HEXACO traits, and day-to-day workplace dynamics shape employee well-being, leadership processes, (counter)productive behaviors, and their interactions. Methodologically, I often use meta-analyses and daily diary studies to test, extend, and refine theory.
My work has been published in journals such as Journal of Organizational Behavior, European Journal of Personality, and Journal of Vocational Behavior.
I currently serve as Associate Editor at Organizational Psychology Review and am a member of the editorial boards of the Journal of Business and Psychology, International Journal of Selection and Assessment, and Stress & Health.
