Hannes Leroy

Hannes Leroy serves as a Full Professor in the Department of Organisation and Personnel Management at Rotterdam School of Management. His academic career centers on organizational behavior with a specialized focus on leadership dynamics and authenticity in professional contexts.

Professor Leroy's research critically examines authentic leadership through multiple dimensions: investigating outcomes like workplace safety and error hiding, exploring antecedents such as mindfulness training, and differentiating authentic leadership from related constructs including behavioral integrity and communication transparency. His work emphasizes practical leadership development that moves beyond superficial approaches to create meaningful organizational impact. The fingerprint analysis of his research reveals strong connections to mindfulness, self-determination theory, and healthcare leadership contexts.

Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate consistent thematic evolution across organizational psychology and management studies. His work bridges theoretical rigor with practical applications, particularly in how authenticity manifests in workplace behavior, the developmental role of discomfort in learning, and systemic critiques of leadership development frameworks. These contributions appear in premier journals including Human Relations and Academy of Management Learning & Education, reflecting interdisciplinary engagement across psychology, management, and organizational studies.

Leroy maintains active scholarly engagement through editorial work for Personnel Psychology (2015-2016) and has supervised academic work as documented in institutional records. His research datasets on social identification and work motivation demonstrate methodological diversity, while seven press/media features highlight real-world relevance of his work on leadership development challenges and organizational dynamics.
