معرفی
Jorn Brandt is a Lecturer and Researcher at the Chair of Business Administration, especially Work, Human Resources, and Organization within the Faculty of Business and Economics at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf since August 2021. His work examines digital transformation's impact on work structures, with emphasis on home office dynamics and organizational adaptation in post-pandemic contexts. He coordinates federally funded research projects addressing remote work challenges and SME digitalization.
His educational background includes:
- Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (2015-2018)
- Master of Science in Business Administration with Corporate Management focus from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (2018-2021), including a semester at the University of Turin, Italy
Brandt's research investigates how home office arrangements affect innovation, employee well-being, and social justice perceptions between blue-collar and white-collar workers. Using mixed methods including experimental analyses and qualitative interviews, his work identifies compensatory mechanisms for home office disparities and health-promoting work designs. Key themes include location-flexible work models, risk conceptualization in remote settings, and digital transformation barriers in craft-sector SMEs.
His publication trends reveal concentrated focus on post-pandemic work evolution since 2022, with escalating output in 2024-2025. Articles systematically analyze home office's innovation impact, justice perceptions across worker hierarchies, and digitalization trade-offs in SMEs. Methodologically, he bridges experimental economics with organizational ethnography, often collaborating with Stefan Süß and René Schmoll. Funded projects like ProHome and @home demonstrate strong industry-academia alignment.

Brandt coordinates three major federally funded projects: DigiWerk (BMBF/ESF, 2021-2022) on digitalization in craft SMEs, @home (BAuA, 2022-2024) analyzing post-pandemic home office, and ProHome (BMFTR, 2023-present) developing health-promoting remote work frameworks. Though no formal advisees are listed, his lecturer role involves course instruction and conference mentoring.
He operates within Prof. Stefan Süß's research chair, collaborating with UniBW Munich and VHB networks. His team engages craft-sector SMEs through WissProKMU transfer events and contributes to national policy dialogues via BMBF-funded initiatives on pandemic work impacts.
