Julia M. Kensbock

I am Professor of Management and Organisation in a Digitized Society at the University of Bremen. My research is located at the interface between psychology, management, entrepreneurship, and technology.

I am convinced that a psychological perspective can help us understand many current phenomena observed in the world of business.

While I consider myself an optimist in most areas of my life, my research especially focuses on the ‘dark side’ of work: Employees and entrepreneurs are not always happy, healthy, and productive. Instead, they often experience constraints, conflicts, or even burnout or health complaints. I explore why (modern) work can sometimes have negative effects on individuals’ well-being, health, and performance, and how leadership and human resource management can be used as effective interventions.

I examine the behavior of employees and entrepreneurs against the backdrop of recent economic and societal challenges, including technological challenges (such as digitization) and demographic changes (such as ageing or diversity of workforces).

In doing so, I seek to find solutions to the question of how organizations can successfully tackle these challenges, now and in the future.
