Jakov Jandrić

Jakov’s research focuses on the interplay between institutions, organisations and individuals in the workplace. In his empirical work, Jakov focuses on age and ageing in the workplace, and on management learning and education. He is currently involved in three projects: (1) UKRI Healthy Ageing Challenge funded project ‘Supporting Healthy Ageing at Work’, in which he is a Co-I and a core team member; (2) Collegiality in Contemporary Higher Education: the UK perspective; and (3) Voices of Graduating Students.

Jakov’s work has been published in The Sociological Review, Management Learning, and International Business Review. He regularly reviews for journals such as Academy of Management Learning & Education, Management Learning, European Management Journal, and Employee Relations. He also regularly reviews for and presents his work at international conferences in management studies and sociology, including the Academy of Management Annual Meeting, EGOS, International CMS Conference, and BSA Work, Employment and Society conference, among others. In his work, he engages with organisations such as Age Scotland, CIPD and BITC in disseminating his work among Scottish and UK businesses.

Part of impactful and interrelated strands of research in Organisation Studies, Wendy Loretto, Belinda Steffan and Jakov Jandric undertake research that addresses age discrimination and creating age-inclusive work environments.
