I am Chair of Social Psychology and director of the Center for Leadership and Behavior in Organizations (CLBO) at Goethe University Frankfurt (Germany). I was also working as Assistant Professor at Marburg University (Germany), as Professor of Social Psychology and Organizational Behavior at Aston University Birmingham (UK) and as Visiting Professor at Universities in Tuscaloosa (US), Rhodes (Greece) and Kathmandu (Nepal). My research centers around applications of social psychological theories and models in general and the social identity approach in particular to organizational contexts such as stress, customer orientation, leadership, or Mergers & Acquisitions. I am also editor of the Journal of Personnel Psychology and have been editor of the British Journal of Management.
