Biography
Jordi Trullen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of People Management and Organization at ESADE Business School, where he teaches courses in organizational behavior and human resource management. Before joining ESADE, Jordi pursued a PhD in Organization Studies at Boston College.
Jordi's current research focuses on two main areas: international human resource management (IHRM) and strategic human resource management (SHRM). Previously, he also worked in the area of organizational change and development.
In the area of IHRM, Jordi is particularly interested in Latin America. He has explored whether firms should adapt their HRM practices to cross-cultural differences, and tested the effectiveness of three different HR models in a sample of 138 Latin American firms. Jordi is also currently exploring how Latin American multinational enterprises (MNEs) manage their international assignees and whether there are significant differences in comparison to developed countries' MNEs.
In the area of SHRM, Jordi's current research examines some factors that influence the acceptance of innovative HR practices by employees. He is also currently studying the advantages associated with workforce differentiated strategies.
Jordi's research has appeared in a variety of journal outlets, such as Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, Journal of Applied Behavioral Science and Journal of Business Research. He is a member of the Academy of Management, EGOS and the Cranfield Network on International Human Resource Management (CRANET). He is an ad-hoc reviewer for Organization Studies.
