Describe the project.: 

The Accountability Intelligence™ Project introduces an innovative framework and AI-enabled platform that redefines how accountability is measured and developed across individuals, teams, organizations, and communities. Unlike traditional assessments that evaluate current behaviors or past performance, Accountability Intelligence™ measures the gap between present behaviors and ideal accountability potential. This forward-looking, developmental approach provides users with clear, evidence-based suggestions to bridge that gap, fostering resilience, growth, and sustainable performance.

At the core of the framework are five enablers and 25 behavioral indicators that capture the essence of accountability in human and organizational systems. The model not only highlights areas of strength but also identifies pathways for improvement, offering personalized recommendations for reaching optimal potential. This is delivered through an AI-powered SaaS platform that generates real-time accountability profiles, predictive analytics, and tailored growth strategies, supported by human-led coaching interventions to ensure lasting impact.

Required expertise/skills: 

The project requires a PhD student or Postdoctoral fellow with expertise in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Applied Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management, or Data Science.
Core Skills:
• Advanced knowledge of research design, psychometrics, and validation methods, including survey construction, factor analysis, regression, and reliability testing.
