David J. Stanley

I am an Associate Professor of Industrial/Organizational Psychology at the University of Guelph, where my work joins applied organizational research with a strong methodological core.

Much of my research uses Monte Carlo simulation to ask a deceptively simple question: do the beliefs researchers hold about statistics and the research process actually hold up? Often they do not — or they hold only under boundary conditions that quietly limit how far our conclusions generalize. Alongside this methodological work, I study organizational commitment, teamwork, and the role of emotion in workplace behavior.
