Mission
The mission of the Dutch HRM Network is aimed at stimulating fundamental and societal relevant scientific research in the field of the employment relationship. The research focus of the HRM Network ('the employment relationship') is well-defined and outlined. Different levels of analysis of the employment relationship (individual level, team/group level, functional/organizational level, national level, and international level) are taken into account in an approach to capture the complexity of reality. Input from multiple disciplines is indispensable (including: psychology, sociology, industrial relations, business administration, economics, and law).
 

Objectives

• training and development of Graduate students (AIO's & OIO's) in the field of the employment relationship
• advisor to organizations and institutions (government, employers, employees, consultants, companies, etcetera) with questions on employment relationship related issues
• strengthening of the international position and profile of Dutch HRM academics
• optimization of the composition of research teams by means of clustering of specialisms from multiple disciplines
• coordination of HRM research
