Centre for Research on Organisations, Work and Society

Welcome to the Centre for Research on Organisations, Work and Society. The centre has expertise in the fields of human resource management, employee relations and organisational analysis. Centre members research and publish on EDI (equality, diversity and inclusion), work precarity, dignity at work, gig work, human resource development, comparative employment relations, critical leadership, organisational ethics, and organisational discourse.

A unifying theme of the centre is a coalescence primarily, though not exclusively, around qualitative research, as well an inter-disciplinary approach to research. The centre organises a range of activities including research seminars, workshops and conferences. We encourage a collaborative, engaged and open space in which to discuss and critique a variety of work and organisational issues. Together centre members are actively focused on advancing a practically useful critical understanding of the continuities and changes within contemporary organisations and work, and how these are impacted by societal challenges.
