Biography

Federica De Stefano is an Assistant Professor of Management and Human Resources at HEC Paris and a Senior Fellow of Wharton People Analytics.

Her research focuses on how organizations deploy their employees. In studying this topic, she has developed two research streams. In her first stream, she adopts the individual perspective to study how HR processes, such as staffing, digital communication, and performance appraisals, shape individuals' career rewards and the sustainability of their working conditions. Her second stream focuses on a strategic perspective to examine how firms can achieve competitive advantage from human capital. Theoretically, her work seeks to speak to the literatures on human resource management, macro-organizational behavior, careers, and strategic human capital. Empirically, much of her work is quantitative and based on field studies in organizational contexts.

Professor De Stefano is a member of the Editorial Board of Human Resource Management and Human Resource Management Review. She has been awarded with several research grants, including a Marie Curie grant from the European Commission. She also served as elected Representative-at-Large for the Strategic Human Capital Interest Group of the Strategic Management Society (SMS).

Prior to joining HEC Paris, she was a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. She holds a Ph.D. in Business Administration and Management, a M.Sc. in International Management, a BA in Management from Bocconi University in Milan (Italy), and a M.Sc. in Management Science and Corporate Management from Fudan University in Shanghai (China).
