People and Organizing

People & Organizing takes a qualitative, ethnographic approach to the analysis of the human turn in organizations.

We have a double focus: on the one hand we study how organizational members, managers, employees, and clients make sense of their social world, e.g., at their workplace. One the other hand we analyze how their interpretations are intertwined with both social norms and governance structures.

We investigate research fields such as: professions, diversity,  public governance & innovation, human resources, emotions, values & ethics, leadership, and organizational change/practices in public and private organizations.
