The unit aims to inform national and international employment and labor policy and improve working lives. The professionals in this unit study many areas that shape the working world in a global economy. These include human resource management; labor-management relations; labor economics; organizational behavior; international and comparative labor; labor relations, labor law and history; conflict resolution; and employment and disability. The research is grounded in the social sciences, and fellows explore and gain an understanding of human behavior through the lens of the workplace, and also learn how organizations work and how they fit into the larger society and economy.
