About
Shawn T. McClean is a leading voice in organizational behavior, whose research sits at the critical intersection of human psychology and emerging workplace technologies. His work primarily explores how artificial intelligence, algorithms, and robots are reshaping the fundamental dynamics of work, with a particular focus on employee performance and stakeholder relationships. McClean’s most influential contribution, "When Conscientious Employees Meet Intelligent Machines" (2021, 290 citations), offers a groundbreaking theoretical framework that re-examines the long-held belief that conscientiousness is the ultimate predictor of performance. By integrating complementarity and role theory, he demonstrates that the value of this trait is contingent on the technological context—a pivotal insight for the age of automation. His more recent work, "A Review of Artificial Intelligence, Algorithms, and Robots Through the Lens of Stakeholder Theory" (2025), further cements his role as a forward-thinking scholar, providing a comprehensive map for understanding how intelligent machines affect not just employees, but customers, managers, and society at large. McClean’s research is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the human side of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
