Our Research

Our research informs the University's Strategic Research Themes of Society & Policy, Health & Wellbeing, and Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and aligns with the University’s Vision 2025 Strategic Plan.

Staff bring a range of interdisciplinary perspectives to three broad research themes - Organising for Social and Digital Innovation, Labour Markets, Skills & Employability, and Regulation & Restructuring of Employment Relations in Global Context – and contribute to a several contemporary societal, global challenges (see Our Impact).

The Scottish Centre for Employment Research (SCER) sits within the Department and attracts funding for policy-related research from a range of sources - for example, the ESRC-funded ‘Improving management practices for productivity and wellbeing’ and PROPEL Hub - Productivity Outcomes of workplace Practice, Engagement and Learning.
