People and organisation

The aim of the group is to gather researchers at INN University who are interested in the human aspects of organizations and working life.

Established:
2022
Affiliation:
Inland School of Business and Social Sciences
Academic discipline:
Economy, management, and innovation

We will be a community for researchers at INN University who are interested in Human Resource Management (HRM) and in the organization and management of people, in the broadest sense and the many areas of knowledge that can be linked to this.

What we research

The research field is organizations in change with a particular focus on the human factors, e.g. competence, which is considered the most important preconditions for innovation and change in organisations.

More about the research group

The research group will contribute to the development and implementation of new R&D projects. Research projects can be developed by parts of the R&D group, or in the form of larger projects where all members of the group can contribute and participate.

An important activity for the research group will be to produce relevant teaching material. The subject area is undergoing strong development in a Scandinavian context, and there is clear room for producing more dedicated teaching aids within the subject area for different levels of education. A first task in this regard will be to produce a basic textbook that reflects the contemporary status and knowledge base for the various practices and theories that make up and relate to HR activities.
