Drs. (MSc MA) Danaë Huijser

I am a business psychologist and researcher, specialized in intercultural organizational behavior. I support intercultural team leaders and members in dealing with individual and cultural differences at work.

I am an external PhD candidate at the UoHS. My research focuses on the global potential of humanistic management. I specifically focus on the promotion of human dignity in intercultural teams.

The humanistic management model offers an alternative to the predominantly economistic management models. Good leadership in the humanistic leadership model is defined as the type of leadership that is directed at well-being through the promoting of dignity. Yet cultural differences in how human dignity is experienced have consequences for what is considered good leadership; leaders can only adequately protect and promote human dignity if they recognize and understand how their team members give meaning to and experience human dignity. My research aims to explore the potential of the humanistic management model to support global leaders in promoting human dignity in such culturally diverse teams.
