I am a senior lecturer in Leadership and Organization. My main research area is Leadership, with links to Human Resource Management. I am particularly interested in what drives managers, as well as which kinds of leader behavior different driving forces give rise to. Furthermore how personality influences leadership style as well as leader behavior. Another area of interest is the effects of leadership; Which links can be found between leadership style and effectiveness? How does various leader behavior and styles influence co-worker's possibilities to do their job? I also research about how long term organizational sustainability can be created within businesses. My focus is then on what leadership's contribution in order to achieve this. Important questions within this area are; What do you need to do in order to become sustainable as a manager/in your managerial role? What is required to make your leadership contribute to organizational sustainability? Most of my research I do through surveys and various instruments for measuring behavior or personality, e.g. so called quantitative research.
