Title: Organization-Cognition Fit: Exploring recruitment and selection through Agent-based Modelling 

This PhD project emphasises the need to rethink the fundamentals of the current recruitment and selection measurements contained in the Person-Environment Fit paradigm, due to structural problems that prohibit them from adequately reflecting the dynamic character of organizational life. Thus, this work aimed to seek and surpass traditional P-E fit measurements via the lens of a distributed e-cognition perspective. In so doing, the study utilizes an Agent-based simulation modelling approach to inquire and explore the bounds of a new measure — Organization-Cognition (O-C) fit — that attempts to capture the bounds of social interaction (social organizing) in a social environment such as an organizational team, and in turn perhaps transcend the current static measures found in the literature.

Our events are open free of charge to PhD students from our own program, and from all other programs provided they also offer tuition free of charge to our students. ’Soon-to-be’ Phd students may also attend with permission from the event instructors and the Program Director, whom you should first contact if this applies to you (Cindie Aaen Maagaard at cindiem@sdu.dk). We are also very happy if members of staff wish to attend, particularly PhD supervisors, and will accommodate them in lieu of space. We ask all who attend an event to register. You’ll find the online registration form on the same page as the event description.
