Research Interests
Dr. Cronshaw has conducted
research and published in the areas of job analysis, leadership, utility
analysis, personnel selection, and human rights in employment. His present scholarly efforts are devoted to developing
a theory of work ecology. In this work, he traces the development of modern
work to its roots in the complex interplay of human evolution since the origin
of our species and sociocultural developments since the advent of the city
state. He shows that the ecological
processes fundamental to adaptation and functioning in the modern workplace are
isomorphic with, and are analytically derivable from, human capabilities
enabled through human evolutionary and cultural history.
