Mr. Umesh Rane

About

Mr. Umesh Rane is an emerging scholar in the field of organizational psychology and the future of work, with a focused interest in how employees perceive and adapt to rapid technological disruption. His most cited work, "Smart Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Algorithms (STARA): Employees’ Perceptions of Our Future Workplace" (2023), provides a critical early examination of workforce attitudes toward automation. Drawing on futurist projections that STARA could replace a third of current jobs by 2025, Rane’s research explores the psychological and career-related implications of these technologies—a timely contribution as industries grapple with digital transformation. Though his citation count is still growing, his work is notable for bridging speculative forecasts with empirical employee perspectives, offering practical insights for HR practitioners and policymakers. Rane’s research is particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in the human side of AI adoption, job displacement anxiety, and the evolving employer-employee relationship in an algorithm-driven economy. As this field expands, his foundational study serves as a key reference for understanding workforce readiness in the age of intelligent automation.
