Interdisciplinary Work and Employment Studies aims to design work efficiently, promotes health, and fosters personal development. To understand this and develop humane, salutogenic solutions, the Institute for Interdisciplinary Work and Employment Studies combines insights, ideas, and suggestions from various scientific disciplines.
Work and Employment Studies is based on the complex reality of working individuals. Interdisciplinarity is the working method that shapes the Institute's activities in the areas of research, consulting, and professional development for individuals and organizations. Developing application-oriented concepts and adapting them to practical situations is one of the Institute's core competencies.
The iAW is active in the fields of research, consulting, and continuing education. Since October 1, 2009, the institute has been part of the Faculty of Economics and Management at Leibniz University Hannover. It continues to offer the continuing education program in interdisciplinary Work and Employment Studies (WA) under its established name.
Concept development, scientific support and evaluation of projects as well as empirical studies in different fields of practice form the focus of the research work of the Institute of Interdisciplinary Work and Employment Studies.
The institute's consulting services include both subject-specific advice on Work and Employment Studies topics and process-oriented consulting for organizational development projects. Research and consulting are frequently conducted within projects that are organized as ongoing processes involving all stakeholders.
