This course is compulsory on the MRes/PhD in Management (Employment Relations and Human Resources). This course is available on the MRes/PhD in Management (Organisational Behaviour). This course is available with permission as an outside option to students on other programmes where regulations permit.

The micro- and macro-HRM course content will cover foundational HRM topics (e.g., recruitment/selection, job design and team work, compensation, retention, engagement, voice, learning and development, performance management, the dark side of the organization), as well as strategic HRM, the gig economy, future of work, and the intersection of artificial intelligence/advanced technologies and HRM. Additionally, comparative models of the employment relationship and unions, corporate social responsibility, international labour standards, inequality, and the plethora of discrimination will be investigated, and from perspectives across the globe. This course will provide the opportunity for students to get to know the faculty members and their research in detail. Further, the course will incorporate direct discussion of academic material to teach students how to correctly ‘read’ academic journals in detail for their theoretical and empirical contribution
