Humans are group animals

People live and work together in groups. Naomi Ellemers examines how our behavior is impacted by others around us. She investigates whether such influence emerges - even when people are not aware it happens, and how you can assess this. This knowledge helps understand what is needed to achieve a ‘culture change’. For instance, to enhance social safety, diversity and inclusion, or ethical behavior and workplace integrity.

“Don't appeal to people's morality, but search together for new rules of play for appropriate behaviour.”
 

Science for Practice

The connection between science and practice is a key feature of the Organizational Behavior group Ellemers initiated as a Distinguished University Professor at Utrecht University. 
She offers science for policy advice as member of the Group of Chief Scientific Advisors of the European government, as Crown member of the Social Economic Council of the Netherlands, and in her monthly expert pages for FD (the ‘Dutch Financial Times’).
One of her initiatives is Athena's Angels, an action group that works towards equal opportunities for women in science. 
Her insights on human behavior inform research on Sustainable Cooperation (in NWO Graviation program SCOOP), and on Social Cohesion (in NWO Summit program SOCION). 
Her research on moral behavior in groups was honored with an NWO Spinoza award. She is elected member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), corresponding member of the British Academy and international member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.
