Introduction
In my research, I focus on two primary areas: the formation of personality judgments, particularly in digital contexts such as cybervetting or virtual meetings, and mapping personality impacts within work environments, such as evaluating leadership outcomes in group settings. Additionally, I am interested in studying phenomena related to remote work.

Purpose
The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the importance of effectively leading a remote workforce in volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) environments. This study examines the effectiveness of transformational–transactional leadership (Full-Range Leadership Model, FRLM) and its recent extension of instrumental leadership (eFRLM) in...
Virtual meetings represent a key communication channel in organizations, introducing a range of contextual cues (e.g., background objects, lighting, positioning). Building on the lens model, we examine whether contextual virtual meeting cues signal traits of the displayer (big five, narcissism, intelligence) and are used to form interpersonal impre...
Recruiters routinely use LinkedIn profiles to infer applicants' individual traits like narcissism and intelligence, two key traits in online network and organizational contexts. However, little is known about LinkedIn profiles' predictive potential to accurately infer individual traits. According to Brunswik's lens model, accurate trait inferences...

This study integrates leadership process models with process models of personality and behavioral personality science to examine the behavioral–perceptual pathways that explain interpersonal personality traits’ divergent relation to group leadership evaluations. We applied data from an online group interaction study (N = 364) alternately assigning...
Human resource (HR) professionals regularly draw personality inferences from applicants' resumés. Building on the lens model, we illuminate resumés' potential for accurately inferring personality by examining valid resumé cues indicating personality. We assessed self-reported big five traits and narcissism of 141 business students at career start a...
This study uses process models of personality to examine the behavioral pathways that explain personality traits’ divergent relation to leadership outcomes in social groups. We applied data from an online group interaction study (N = 364) alternately assigning participants as leaders conducting brief group tasks. We used four types of variables to...

However, little is known about LinkedIn profiles’ predictive potential to accurately infer personality. According to Brunswik’s lens model, accurate personality inferences depend on (a) the presence of valid cues in LinkedIn prof...

Boosted by the COVID-19 pandemic, more than ever, an organization’s success depends on its teleworkers’ performance. However, little attention has been paid to the individual strategies implemented by teleworkers to achieve goals such as drawing boundaries between work- and private-life, working task-oriented and productively, and keeping social co...
Narcissists successfully emerge as leaders. However, the processes by which this occurs are mostly unknown. Following a dual-pathway approach and differentiating between agentic (narcissistic admiration) and antagonistic (narcissistic rivalry) narcissism, we investigated the behavioral processes underlying narcissists’ leadership emergence in socia...
Narcissists are motivated to attain leadership positions and successfully emerge as leaders. However, the underlying processes are mostly unknown. Following a dual pathway approach and differentiating between agentic (admiration) and antagonistic (rivalry) narcissism, we investigated the behavioral processes underlying narcissists’ leadership emerg...
