About

Claudio Barbaranelli is a leading figure in organizational psychology, whose research has fundamentally shaped our understanding of job insecurity, personality assessment, and work performance. His work masterfully bridges psychometric theory with applied organizational behavior, particularly in exploring how modern workplace stressors—such as technology-induced job insecurity—affect employee performance and well-being. His most-cited paper, "Job Preservation and Strain Effects of Technology-Induced Job Insecurity on In-Role and Extra-Role Job Performance" (2025), with 3 citations, exemplifies his focus on the psychological mechanisms linking perceived threats to job outcomes. Beyond this, Barbaranelli is renowned for his contributions to the psychometric validation of personality inventories, including the Big Five Questionnaire, and for advancing structural equation modeling techniques in social science research. His work has been widely cited in studies on counterproductive work behavior, ethical leadership, and the dark triad of personality. With a career spanning decades, Barbaranelli’s research has informed both academic theory and practical interventions, making him a pivotal voice in understanding how individual differences and environmental pressures shape workplace dynamics.
