Netherlands: PhD Student "Human and social sustainability in work organizations"
Written by Administrator
Tuesday, 26 August 2008
The
PhD student will conduct his/her research in the project "Human and
social sustainability in work organizations". The research is about
designing regenerative work. Regenerative work is defined as work that
supports the growth and revitalization of employees’ various resources.
Regenerative work thus increases employees’ ability to function in the
future while also promoting positive affective states and performance
in the present. The regenerative potential of work relates to the
manageability of work (e.g., a balance between resources and work
demands), the clarity of goals, and feedback received. This research
builds on previous methodologies concerning the analysis and design of
jobs. The research will use both surveys and case studies, and will be
carried out in industrial companies, in which work crafting is
developed in the context of (hyper)turbulent and unpredictable change.
This PhD position is embedded in the KNAW-acknowledged Beta Graduate School for Operations Management and Logistics.
