Deanne den Hartog's accomplishments

Deanne den Hartog (Professor of Organisational Behaviour at the Amsterdam Business School) is a very productive researcher active in the intersecting fields of business studies, human resource management, leadership studies and organisational psychology. She chooses themes that are high on the social agenda, such as the relationship between job satisfaction and performance, narcissistic leaders, and the importance of diversity in teams. Den Hartog approaches these subjects with an interdisciplinary focus and translates the results into teaching and education for students. Her work stands out for its balanced consideration of both the positive aspects as well as the ‘darker side’ of leadership and its impact on organisations. Her study of the cross-cultural variation of leadership styles is regarded as an authoritative work in the field. Den Hartog is becoming increasingly prolific as a researcher, lecturer and speaker and she is an inspirational role model for many.
