Projects

The researchers associated with our HRM&OB Centre of Expertise are working on various projects, often in collaboration with organisations which participate in their research and facilitate it.

Using Creativity

Our centre of expertise has started a special research project called Using Creativity. A team led by Bernard Nijstad will focus their attention on a couple of research questions. Organisations which would like to take part in the research will have the opportunity to invest in creativity within their organisation using the results.

How to best regulate companies

The financial crisis of 2007-2008 exposed problems at corporations that helped derail the global economy. Despite their failings, companies fiercely resisted the idea of tighter regulations. What does this tell us, and is our current model of regulation fundamentally flawed? These are the questions on the mind of Floor Rink, Professor of Organizational Behavior and Identity Management at the Faculty of Economics and Business. Over the coming years she will examine how companies can be most effectively regulated through her project, Internal and External Regulation of Top Management Decisions, funded by a Vidi research grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research NWO.

Is het huidig personeelsbeleid in de zorg adequaat genoeg is om de problemen in de zorg goed aan te kunnen?

Deze vraag onderzochten we in het project HRM in de Zorg, gefinancierd door VHPG Oost. Het ziekteverzuim is hoog, de werkdruk was altijd al hoog en in 2021 blijkt dat de tevredenheid met het werk met een duidelijke knik gedaald te zijn, daarbij is vertrek uit de branche ook nog hoog.

Hoe kan de rol van HR en het HRM beleid worden versterkt om dit te keren?
