More specifically, research at WOS aims to expand knowledge about the well-being of employees and jobseekers, and about the organisational practices, policies and processes that influence the nature and conditions of work and the organisation of labour in society. Research areas include Human Resource Management, Leadership & Organisational Behaviour, Quality of Work, Careers & Employability, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Organisations in Society. The Faculty of Economics and Business has four campuses. This position is connected to our campuses in Leuven, Brussels and Antwerp.
