People and Organizing (PnO)
Welcome to the People & Organizing (PnO) research group
In People & Organizing, we take a predominantly qualitative 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.
Every semester our research group organizes various events where we discuss papers, research ideas, etc., and where we socialize to help everyone feel integrated in the group.
Our group is led by:
Associate professor, Frans Bevort
Associate professor, Karen Boll
