PhD in Management - Work, Organisations and Society

Work, Organisations and Society is an interdisciplinary research group investigating relations between people, organisations and society in the broadest possible sense. The group uses a range of mainstream and critical theoretical perspectives, at both the micro-level of behaviour and inter-personal relations, and the macro-level of institutions and societies. In order to do this, members of Work, Organisations and Society adopt qualitative approaches such as video-reflexive ethnography, ethnography, observation and interviews, and quantitative analytical tools including panels, surveys and experiments. Work, Organisations and Society research stands primarily on the pillars of sustainability, EDI (equality, diversity and inclusion) and responsibility, in line with the School's ethos of responsible management. Group members question many of the generally-accepted ideas regarding organisations, and challenge orthodoxies of managerial practice. At the heart of the group is an interest in the sociological and psychological nature of organisational behaviour, and in the ethical and political context and consequences of organisations.
