Ann-Louise Holten's overall research interests capture organisational processes. More specifically, she is interested in the interrelations between work context (e.g. organizational change), the organization of work (e.g. job demands & resources), management (e.g. leadership and leadership learning) and different outcomes (e.g. well-being, productivity, and employment status). Her work is primarily quantitative, but she also works with mixed methods. She has experience with designing, performing, and evaluating intervention studies. Her work has appeared in the European Journal of Industrial Relations, Work & Stress, Journal of Advanced Nursing, Leadership & Organization Development Journal, Journal of Leadership Studies, Management Decision.

Currently, Ann-Louise Holten teaches courses in leadership and organizational change and she is course coordinator for the Master/WOP programme. She has a Ph.D. in Political Science from the European University Institute in Florence, Italy.
