New pathways for upskilling temporary workers

The commitment of local stakeholders from human resource management (HRM), works councils, and training institutions is important in order to breathe new life into existing labour market support instruments. Using the example of upskilling temporary workers, this project aims to develop new approaches for how responsibility among local stakeholders may be shared in the future and how cooperation can be organised effectively.

Unitarism in Human Resource Management Studies

Unitarism is a perspective on employment issues that focuses on management concerns, and it is particularly prevalent in management studies. Through surveys conducted at Austrian universities, we are examining how university lecturers and students view unitarism and exploring what possibilities exist to create space for other perspectives on employment issues.
