Dr. Konrad Kulikowski is a psychologist and management expert specializing in evidence-based human resource management and organizational effectiveness. He currently serves as an assistant professor and Vice Dean for Education at the Faculty of Organization and Management at Łódź University of Technology, and collaborates with Sedlak & Sedlak, Poland’s oldest HR consulting firm.
With a PhD in psychology and experience at the intersection of academic research and business practice, Dr. Kulikowski explores how organizations can thrive by combining scientific rigor with practical application. His work focuses on topics highly relevant to modern managers, such as employee engagement and burnout, performance-based pay systems, people analytics, and managing intellectual capital. He has published extensively in international journals, including the European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology, Career Development International, and Research Evaluation.
A strong advocate of evidence-based management, Dr. Kulikowski writes for practitioners on his blog Evidence-Based HR, where he explores how data and behavioral science can support better decision-making in business. He is also critical of generational stereotypes and challenges the notion that categories like Generation X, Y, or Z have any scientifically or practically meaningful foundation. He sees these labels as a popular trend lacking robust empirical support. Instead, he offers a fresh, evidence-based perspective on age-related differences in the workplace.
