Founder

Goran Kuljanin, PhD, serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Management and Entrepreneurship at DePaul University. His research focuses on developing computational models to investigate processes underlying the emergence of phenomena in human resources management (HRM) and organizational behavior (OB), applying data science methods to advance HRM and OB research and practice, and studying employee staffing, task allocation systems, performance optimization, leadership, teamwork, and organizational networks. He has published his research in leading academic journals such as the Journal of Applied Psychology, the Leadership Quarterly, Psychological Methods, and Organizational Research Methods. His research awards include the Best Article in Organizational Research Methods in 2013, the 2015 William A. Owens Scholarly Achievement Award from the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology, and a Monograph Distinction from the Journal of Applied Psychology. As a co-investigator, he has won multiple research grants from the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences. He teaches courses and gives talks on business and people analytics, forecasting and prediction, data visualization, employee data systems, teamwork, leadership, performance optimization, and investigative methods for scientific and applied purposes. His consulting work focuses on analyzing data and formulating computational process models on any organization’s most important resource: its people. He applies analytical methods (e.g., machine learning, time series modeling, organizational network analysis, natural language modeling, process mining) to describe and predict employee behavior, and he develops computational process models to investigate and prescribe effective work strategies to meet organizational objectives.
