Professor Nic Burton (Head of Department, LHRM) and Dr Padmali Rodrigo (Associate Professor in Marketing) are nearing completion of a British Academy of Management (BAM)-funded research project where they explored experiences, tensions, barriers and coping mechanism to meaningful work and wellbeing.
This event serves two purposes:
- To disseminate initial findings and possible policy interventions;
- To hear from two external world-leading Scholars in the discipline of meaningful work.
The external speakers are:
- Dr Evgenia Lysova, who is currently at Vrije University, Amsterdam, is a high-profile scholar in meaningful work who has published in the highest-esteem journals such as Journal of Management Studies, Journal of Vocational Behaviour, Human Relations and Journal of Business Ethics, to name a few. Evgenia regularly edits special issues such as Journal of Business Ethics, Journal of Vocational Behaviour and currently at the International Journal of Human Resource Management with myself. You will also see that Evgenia has published on calling, micro-CSR, careers, and social and psychological capital.
- Dr Knut Laaser, who is currently at Kings College. is a high-profile scholar in sociology and meaningful work who has published in the highest-esteem journals such as Management Learning, International Journal of Management Reviews, Work Employment and Society, and International Journal of Human Resource Management.
