Bardon's research centers on managerial innovations and organizational identity construction through critical/post-structuralist frameworks. He examines user perception of management tools, strategic knowledge/project management, and identity work dynamics, with particular focus on how employees navigate post-bureaucratic transitions and construct meaning during organizational change. His methodology integrates Foucauldian analysis and Aristotelian practical wisdom to explore power relations and ethical dimensions in management practices.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals three dominant research streams: (1) Identity work in managerial contexts, exploring how professionals construct heroic leader identities and navigate workplace tensions; (2) Critical examinations of managerial innovations, emphasizing sensemaking processes during organizational transformation; and (3) Metaresearch on academic trends including crowdfunding studies and methodological challenges in observation. His work consistently applies post-structuralist theory to contemporary management phenomena.
His scientific recognition includes:
- Best Full Paper Award 2018 (HRM) - British Academy of Management
- Best Full Paper Award EURAM 2014 (SIG Business & Society)
