My research integrates computational and qualitative methodologies to explore the interplay between technology evolution, job dynamics, and organizational innovation, firmly rooted in a socio-technical perspective. This interdisciplinary foundation drives my research focus: understanding the intricate dynamics between technological practices, occupations, and their societal implications. At the heart of my inquiry is how new technical practices are talked about, legitimated, or contested by different organizations, which can influence their diffusion chances.
My Ph.D. dissertation examines the changing nature of work, specifically on changes in IT occupations and the demand for emerging technologies like AI. The three-paper thesis leverages text data from online job vacancies to inspect the demand for IT roles and skills across organizations over time. It expands Organizational Studies and IS theories by analyzing patterns from computational methods.
