Dissertation research in progress, alongside applied questions that inform consulting practice.
Review Current WorkRussell Steiner is completing an I-O Psychology PhD at the University of Akron. His current dissertation work develops SATJES, the Social and Task Job Engagement Scale. The other topics on this page are applied inquiry areas—not registered studies, recruiting projects, completed findings, or released research products.
These inquiries are not a separate destination from consulting work. They help shape AI Strategy, Business Intelligence, and adjacent diagnostics when clients need evidence before scaling a decision.
Status: Dissertation research in progress
SATJES distinguishes task engagement from social engagement. Each domain includes cognitive, affective, and physical facets. Measure development and evaluation remain in progress.
Status: Applied inquiry area
Questions about how people interpret, challenge, and use AI-supported recommendations inform PrimeStata’s approach to adoption, governance, and decision design.
Status: Applied inquiry area
PrimeStata examines how construct clarity, measurement quality, and responsible score interpretation can improve workforce and organizational decisions.
Construct mapping, EFA/CFA, reliability (α/ω), invariance testing, score bands and norms.
A/B and multivariate experiments, difference-in-differences, hierarchical models, uplift/hazard analysis.
Explainable ML (SHAP/ICE), governance artifacts, bias checks, interpretable model reports.
Hypotheses, instruments, sampling plan, and power analysis.
Collection pipelines, checks, documentation, and governance.
Modeling, effect sizes, uncertainty, and sensitivity diagnostics.
Executive briefs, technical appendices, and operator-ready artifacts.
SATJES most directly connects to Organizational & People Analytics, while responsible-AI questions may connect to AI Strategy.
