Management and Employment

These pages hold legacy content of completed research. Our current work with details of our most recent achievements is now represented within the Centre for Change, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management (CENTRIM).

________________

 

The Management and Employment research and enterprise group bridges professional and academic knowledge on managing change at work and in employment. We proactively engage with practitioners and institutions in order to encourage fairer work places, constantly translating our research into practice.

Partners in our research include businesses and not-for-profit organisations, unions and government at local and international level. We use an interdisciplinary perspective, making connections between our four key research areas:

  • law
  • employment policy
  • managing organisational change and behaviour
  • human resource management.

Benefiting from a supportive research environment, we actively collaborate both within and beyond the university, nurture each other’s researcher development and encourage new and early career researchers.

Our mission

Our mission is to enable fairer futures through researching management and employment policies and practices.

We will achieve this through undertaking research that advances ethical agendas and fairness within organisations. Our research and engagement feeds into our teaching and our students’ reaction to what we teach informs our research. We aim to have a tangible impact on society by ensuring that research-informed activities flourish within the public, private and voluntary sectors.

Best publication prize for Professor Marie-Bénédicte Dembour

Professor Marie-Bénédicte Dembour has won the Best Publication prize awarded by the Odysseus Academic Network which recognises outstanding academic research in the area of European Immigration or Asylum Law.

The Best Publication Prize recognises an outstanding contribution to the field by a more experienced researcher or professor and Professor Dembour was joint winner of the category with Dr Cathryn Costello.

Marie-Bénédicte’s publication entitled ‘When Humans Become Migrants; Study of the European Court of Human Rights with an Inter-American Counterpoint’ examines the way in which two of the world's foremost human rights courts, the European Court of Human Rights and Inter-American Court of Human Rights, engage with claims lodged by migrants. It assesses whether the two courts remain true to their purpose of upholding human rights in migrant cases, and shows the differences in their approaches. It explores how the different social, moral, and political conceptions prevalent in Europe and Latin America can explain their different reasoning and contrasting outcomes.

The 2016 Winners of the Odysseus Network Prizes are awarded €1000 which is shared between the joint winners. The prizes were awarded at the 2017 Odysseus Annual Law and Policy Conference on 10 February 2017 in Brussels.
