This research theme explores workplace health and wellbeing at the individual, organisational and societal levels. 

Our body of research explores the macro, meso and micro factors that can foster health and wellbeing at work.

For instance, we work towards facilitating organisational cultures that can favour healthy workplaces, enhancing work-life/family balance, promoting positive mental health and understanding the implications of the (maternal) body for employment, among other aims.

This theme investigates leadership behaviour, styles, processes, dynamics and outcomes, using a plethora of philosophical, theoretical and methodological approaches. 

For example, our researchers explore the impact of leader’s factors (eg personality traits, emotions, behaviours, gender) on employee and organisational productivity and wellbeing as well as the leader-follower relationship. They also promote the understanding and adoption of inclusive leadership practices.

Our research also focuses on higher-level leadership phenomena, including governance, global leadership and the political context of leadership.

Finally, research whithin this theme aims to understand how to enhance the education and development of current and future managers.

Research within this theme seeks to gain a better understanding of the lived experiences of individuals at work in relation to their differences in backgrounds, identities, values, abilities, beliefs and preferences.

Our work aims to embrace diversity and promote more inclusive and equitable organisations. 

Our researchers explore the impact on work life of factors such as ethnicity, gender, religion, neurodiversity and disability.

They also evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of EDI practices in the workplace and investigate the implications of occupational factors, organisational culture and structures on EDI practices, processes and outcomes.

Research within this theme aims to understand identity at work, embracing multiple perspectives and considering several factors that can define identity, including, but not limited to gender, organisational roles, occupations and professions and multi-culturalism.

Some exemplary issues our researchers seek to address relate to the establishment of one’s sense of Self and Others in the changing and multicultural world of work.

This includes how individuals develop their sense of belonging to an organisation, how they challenge or conform to the predominant norms and standards, and how they alter their self-perceptions in the context of change.

This research theme looks at multiple challenges emerging from the changing world of work, and investigates the challenges involved in managing and working for global, cross-cultural organisations.

Our researchers also explore the decolonialisation of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and processes, as well as of management education curricula.

Research within the theme also explores the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and technology on work, organisation and management processes and practices, as well as on future management education.
