Ludovica LEONE

Ludovica LEONE serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics "Marco Biagi" at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, where she specializes in organizational behavior, human resources management, and the dynamics of collaborative workspaces. Her academic position falls under Scientific-Disciplinary Sector ECON-08/A Business Organization, reflecting her expertise in organizational theory and management practices. She maintains an active teaching schedule, offering courses such as Organization and Management of Human Resources for International Economics and Marketing students, Organizational Behavior and People Management for Labor Relations graduate students, and Communication and Change Management.

Professor LEONE's research interests center on the intersection of physical workspace design and organizational behavior, with particular emphasis on collaborative spaces, creativity in organizations, and organizational change processes. Her work explores how physical environments influence collaboration, innovation, and employee well-being, examining both traditional office settings and emerging collaborative workspaces like coworking environments. She has developed a nuanced understanding of creativity in organizational contexts, moving from her early work on creativity in haute cuisine to broader applications in workplace settings.

Analysis of her publication record reveals a clear evolution in focus, with early work examining creativity through culinary arts transitioning to more comprehensive studies of collaborative spaces and organizational behavior. Since 2020, her research has increasingly addressed pandemic-related workplace transformations, exploring how organizations adapted physical and virtual spaces during this period. Her most recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate continued focus on organizational change, collaborative environments, and leadership adaptation in post-pandemic contexts.

Professor LEONE maintains active research collaborations, particularly with scholars like Fabrizio Montanari, Anna Chiara Scapolan, and Stefano Rodighiero, resulting in numerous co-authored publications across journal articles, book chapters, and conference papers. Her research methodology appears to blend qualitative and case study approaches, often examining specific collaborative spaces or organizational contexts in depth.

She conducts regular student reception hours online on Thursdays from 5-7pm and maintains her professional presence through ORCID (0000-0002-6496-3637). Her office is located in the Department of Economics "Marco Biagi" in Modena (Office Code: 10 West), where she continues to contribute to both teaching and research activities in organizational studies.
