Prof Jakob Stollberger is a Professor in Leadership and Organizational Behavior at the University of Durham and an International Research Affiliate at the National University of Singapore. Prior to joining the University of Durham, Jakob held various research positions at Aston University, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Birmingham in the UK as well as at the Free University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
As a work psychologist, Jakob explores various ways how behavioral insights can support organizations in their day-to-day work. His research agenda focuses on themes that lie at the intersection between organizations and society, such as issues around how leaders can promote or derail organizational innovation efforts, how work influences family dynamics, as well as how humans can best work together with artificial intelligence (AI) in the not-too-distant future of work.
Over the last 10 years, Jakob Stollberger has written extensively on topics such as nonverbal leadership, work-family (im)balance, as well as AI at work and human augmentation. His scholarly work has been published in leading academic journals and has won a number of awards. He currently serves as Associate Editor for Human Relations, the flagship journal of the Tavistock Institute in London that recently celebrated its 75th anniversary.
Jakob Stollberger also writes impactful practitioner-oriented pieces for outlets such as the Harvard Business Review, the World Financial Review, or the European Business Review and his work received media coverage in Forbes, The World Economic Forum, or The Conversation UK among others. Due to his talent to turn scholarly insights into actionable recommendations for workplaces, he is a regularly invited speaker at businesses (e.g., Meta) and governmental bodies (e.g., UK ministries).
