Human Resource Management Seminar
In this seminar, students are expected to work systematically on a current topic in human resource management (HRM). Students need to work in groups throughout the seminar including the final presentation and the preparation of their research papers. The objective of this seminar is to encourage students to approach a current HRM topic from a scientific perspective. Students can also improve their communication and presentation skills while discussing the work of their peers and presenting their own research project. This seminar might further prepare students to write a master thesis. The seminar paper should be written in English. This semester (Summer Semester 2024) students will conduct semi-structured interviews, write an empirical research paper together with their peers under the guidance of the instructors. Basic knowledge in HRM and research methodology is highly recommended. We particularly welcome students that have attended our MA-course “Survey Research”, our BA-course “Empirische Methoden im Personalmanagement”, or similar research methodology-oriented courses.
