Research Interests
The core focus of my research is on the (predictive validity of) cultural values in relation to management, whether at governmental, organisational or individual level. I studied cultural values in relation to Person-Environment Fit, organisational justice perception, Cultural Intelligence, aid & development, Human Resource Management practices, negotiations and the impact of education & training. I am interested in both research and applied aspects of intercultural interaction and identity. She has been working as a consultant for businesses and charities and gets involved at grassroots level for Amnesty International, Refugee Week, and local art initiatives.

Blog: • www.identityresearch.org Identity Research was founded by Dr. Nathalie van Meurs. It hosted the E-Congress on Negotiating Identities on the 15-16th May, 2007 and is a source of information about negotiating social identities in a variety of contexts. Nathalie van Meurs set up this website for the purpose of bringing together people from the academic community, business, the Arts, media, sport and government to discuss the idea how we can successfully be multitudes, because nobody is just a nationality, religion, gender, job, political affiliation, or interest group. • Follow on twitter: @drvanmeurs
