Karen van der Zee is Full Professor of Organisational Psychology at the
University of Groningen. Her present area of research is Cultural Diversity
in Organisations. In earlier work she focused on personnel selection and

Karen's current fields of research include the development of selection and
assessment tools for expatriates and management, integration strategies of
emigrants and immigrants, integration of ethnic minorities on the job

supervision of a traineeship for developing the Intercultural Conflict
Management Inventory, validation of the Intercultural Readiness Check and the analysis of the role of cross border experience in the development of intercultural sensitivity.
