Membership Research Schools and other Research Institutes Research of the group is embedded in two research schools, the Kurt Lewin Institute, and IOPS. 5. Research topics Our goal is to develop and test theory that explains how psychological processes and principles at the individual and grouplevel alone and in interaction predict motivational and affective states (e.g., organizational attraction and commitment, group affective tone, work motivation), cooperation and coordination among individuals and groups (e.g., organizational citizenship behavior, conflict management), individual and group decision making (e.g., task, career, and personnel decisions, negotiated agreement, decision failures), and individual and group performance (creativity and innovation). Our research covers a broad array of research themes that are all highly relevant for the functioning of individuals and groups at work. At the individual level 81

WORK & ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY these themes concern: career development, personnel selection, selfregulation and motivation, aging, and work and health. At the team level and at the interface of individuals and teams our main research themes concern: negotiating and decision making, team composition and processes, creativity and innovation, and leadership. In our research we explicitly take a multilevel multimethod approach, assuming that workrelated processes can often be better understood when taking into account both individual and group levels of analysis, and by assuming that each method has its vices and virtues. Thus, our work employs laboratory experiments, crosssectional and longitudinal field studies, and metaanalytic reviews to build and test theory. We do engage in applied work but our emphasis is on theory development and testing. Because our primary focus is on basic psychological theory that applies to workrelated processes and phenomena relevant to organizations, our work is published in and discussed with colleagues both within as well as outside (organizational) psychology. 6. Program development December 2009 Edwin van Hooft was appointed as associated professor. This position strengthens the program s focus on the multimethod approach and research on selfregulation and motivation. Ute Klehe was appointed as associate professor (starting September 2009), which strengthens the program s research on personnel selection and job search behaviours. Matthijs Baas was appointed as assistant professor (starting September 2009), which strengthens the program s research on creativity. Bernard Nijstad was appointed as a full professor of decision making and organizational behaviour at the University of Groningen. 82
