Jesus Canduela

Jesus Canduela serves as a Lecturer in the Business School at Edinburgh Napier University, specializing in labor market dynamics, employee ownership structures, and workforce development. His research consistently examines Scottish and UK contexts through collaborations with the Employment Research Institute, addressing critical issues in human resource management and economic policy.

His primary research domains encompass labor economics, human resource management, employability systems, employee-owned business models, workplace learning mechanisms, business forecasting methodologies, and migrant labor integration. Key investigations include managers' trade union attitudes, FMCG forecasting processes, health impacts in employee-owned firms, and polarization in training access—demonstrating methodological diversity across quantitative surveys, policy evaluations, and qualitative organizational studies.

Publication analysis (2011-2017) reveals concentrated expertise in UK labor policy evaluation, with significant contributions to understanding employee ownership benefits, migrant workforce integration challenges, and training accessibility barriers. His work frequently intersects with health and wellbeing outcomes, particularly in the Scottish context, while later projects engage with international frameworks like Qatar's FIFA World Cup preparations.

Dr. Canduela has secured substantial research funding from Scottish Government (£118,585), European Commission (£215,989), Scottish Enterprise, and City of Edinburgh Council (£5,000), directing projects including "Working For Families Monitoring" (2006-2012), "Glasgow Housing Association Impact Assessment" (2011-2012), and "SocIEtY: Social Innovation for Youth" (2013-2016). These initiatives consistently address socioeconomic inclusion through evidence-based policy development.
