"People Analytics: Using Digital Exhaust to Leverage Network Insights in the Algorithmically Infused Workplace"
by Noshir Contractor, Jane S. and William J. White Professor of Behavioral Sciences, Director of the SONIC Lab, and IPR Associate
Abstract: Social network research can enhance performance in the algorithmically infused workplace. The evidence of social networks to identify who has good ideas, who is influential, and what teams will get work done efficiently and effectively is well established. The challenge has been collecting network data via time-consuming surveys, which elicit low response rates and have high obsolescence. This talk presents empirical examples to demonstrate how we can leverage people analytics to mine data created by individuals in their digital transactions to address challenges they face with issues such as team assembly and team conflict.
This event is part of the Fay Lomax Cook Winter 2024 Colloquium Series, where IPR researchers from around the University share their latest policy-relevant research.
Please note all colloquia this quarter will be held in-person only.
