About

Martin J. McKenney is a researcher focused on workforce analytics and organizational development, with a particular emphasis on identifying and quantifying personnel skill gaps. His work addresses a critical challenge faced by modern organizations: the need to systematically evaluate whether employees possess the required competencies for their roles. McKenney’s major contributions include developing a Skills Gaps Analysis Model using the Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM), which provides a structured framework for measuring the distance between position requirements and current employee skills. His most-cited paper, "Using the DSRM to Develop a Skills Gaps Analysis Model" (2020, 10 citations), offers a replicable methodology for organizations to assess workforce readiness, while his earlier work, "Identifying and Quantifying Personnel Skill Gaps" (2019, 5 citations), lays foundational concepts for this area. Though his citation counts are modest, McKenney’s research is notable for its practical, actionable approach to a pervasive human resources problem, bridging the gap between theoretical frameworks and real-world application. His work is particularly valuable for students and practitioners in human resource management, organizational behavior, and workforce planning, offering tools to enhance talent management and strategic decision-making.
