Professor Karen Jehn specialises in negotiation and conflict management subjects.
Her research examines intragroup conflict, group composition and lying in organizations.
More recently she’s looked at asymmetries of perception in workgroups—why members view
the same experience differently and how this influences group and organisational
outcomes? Professor Jehn has authored numerous publications in these areas, including
articles in the Academy of Management Journal, Administrative Science Quarterly, Journal
of Personality and Social Psychology, Organization Science, Organization Behavior and
Human Decision Processes and Journal of Business Ethics.
She is also editor of the Social Science Research Network, Conflict and Dispute
Resolution Journal and Negotiation and Conflict Management Research.
She has held appointments at the University of Pennsylvania and Leiden University in the
Netherlands and she served on the board of the National Science Foundation of the
Netherlands.
She has served on the editorial board of many science and management journals, such
as—Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Review, the Journal of
Organizational Behavior, and the International Journal of Conflict Management where she
was an Associate Editor.
Professor Jehn has won over 50 awards and grants for her work from international
associations. Her work has been cited over 1500 times in high impact international
journals and Leiden University named her the most frequently cited psychologist in the
nation.
