The project aims to improve our understanding of the implementation and effects of decent work regulation, i.e. whether and how regulatory changes on decent work within global value chains help reduce organisational wrongdoing and corruption, and thereby affect decent working conditions for shop-floor workers in the Global South. The project takes a multi-actor perspective on the topic, meaning that not only the perspectives of business organisations will be taken into account, but also those of employee and employer associations, workers, governments, international and non-governmental organisations, etc. Research collaborations with international organisations working on the topic are being built. In addition to research, you will also be involved in teaching-related activities such as supervising Master’s theses or work groups (0.2 FTE).
You will work together with Drs Stefan Schembera, Sofija Pajic, Lander Vermeerbergen, and Nora Lohmeyer. You will carry out data collection and data analysis for the project. Field research will involve both qualitative and quantitative methods (e.g. interviews, observations, document analysis and surveys). This will most likely also involve field visits in production countries. You will report on the empirical findings, both in the form of written reports and academic articles and by presenting the findings at international conferences.
You will have a 10% teaching load. You will teach courses in the Bachelor’s degree programme in Business Administration and/or the Master’s specialisation in Organisational Design and Development and/or Strategic Human Resource Management.
