(Strategic) Human resource management

We study the added value of HR investments using a combination of different data sources collected or stored in organisations (over time), in order to be able to make data driven HR decisions. (Strategic) Human Resource Management covers multiple HR practices, such as applicant selection, training, and work design, as well as how these practices operate together in a system.

Leadership effectiveness

We focus on the characteristics, and consequences of (in)effective leaders and leadership styles over time, using a combination of different data sources collected or stored in organisations as well as leadership diagnostics.

Employee behaviour & well-being

We study which factors influence employee health, well-being, fit, turnover, and other employee behaviours, and which interventions are effective in improving those outcomes.

Responsible use of analytics

We focus on informing theory and practice in the broad field of HRM and organizational behaviour using advanced methods, such as predictive modeling and text mining. In addition, we research ethical considerations and psychological consequences of algorithm based decision-making.

Learning analytics

We focus on improving matchmaking processes between individuals (e.g., students), education and the labor market.
