About

Diane E. Bailey is a leading scholar in organizational behavior and technology studies, whose work illuminates how emerging technologies reshape work, workers, and society. Her research centers on the relational dynamics between technology and organizing, with a focus on artificial intelligence, robotics, digital platforms, and data analytics. Bailey’s major contributions include advancing a relational perspective that reframes technology not as a tool but as an integral part of organizational life, as seen in her highly cited paper “We Are All Theorists of Technology Now” (246 citations), which argues that everyone must now engage theoretically with technology’s unpredictable impacts. She also addresses the societal consequences of technological suites in “Emerging Technologies at Work” (46 citations), outlining policy ideas to mitigate negative outcomes like job displacement and inequality. Bailey’s work has been instrumental in bridging theory and practice, earning her recognition as a critical voice in the future of work discourse. Her ability to synthesize complex technological trends with actionable insights makes her a vital resource for students and researchers navigating the evolving landscape of work and organizing.
