Strategisch human resource management

This Master’s programme focuses on Human Resource Management, in terms of serving both the organisation’s interests (good performance) and those of employees (for example, satisfaction and motivation).

This Master’s programme focuses on Human Resource Management (HRM), and its effects on organisational goals (good performance) employee well-beings (for example, satisfaction and motivation) and social legitimacy. We study HRM in the context of societal developments such as an ageing population, internationalisation, and technological change. This means we don’t see HR policy as a stand-alone policy domain, but rather as a domain in which developments within the organisation and within society as a whole are incorporated and integrated into management. What makes HR policies strategic is its coherence, its alignment with the organisation’s strategic goals, and with internal and external developments.
