Employee responses to Monitoring and the use of Automated/Digital Performance Metric Systems
I am leading a project exploring employee responses to employee monitoring and the use of metricised employee performance systems. The use of automated metric production associated with employee performance is growing and this project aims to exlpore the positive and negative impact of these systems along with an exploration of design features which are likely to lead to different responses (both positive and negative). I am available to take on new students linked to this project who have strong quantitative skills.
I currently have a scholarship available for a student to work on this project.
