Research

I find it challenging and useful to combine innovative theoretical and practical empirical work in order to contribute to the development of OHS practice, current policy development with regard to sustainability, and developmental forms of work organisations. I also have a strong interest in the concept of Developmental Work and related subjects such as union renewal, trade union education, new forms of working environment practices, new forms of employee participation and new management concepts such as Corporate Social Responsibility etc. These subjects are, furthermore, key elements in my recent research and teaching, which mainly focuses on the linkage between the world of work and sustainability efforts.

Areas

Working life democracy, Quality of work life, Psychosocial working environment, Occupational health and safety, sustainability and human resource development, Trade union perspectives and policy development on sustainable development, Employee participation in the introduction of environmental management, working environment management, integrated management systems, environmental product development or other innovative development activities and work organization forms, Involvement of the trade union movement in the efforts to enhance societal sustainability.
