The People and Organisation Research Centre was established in 2007 as a strategic research direction in the Faculty of Commerce.

Our main objectives are:

• To establish and maintain a group of nationally and internationally recognised scholars in people and organization in order to facilitate research in organisational change, critical studies, identity, international dimensions, and new and precarious systems;
• To achieve excellence in research into people and organisation;
• To promote active collaborative research projects with industry, government, local and international institutions in the field of people and organisation;
• To be a driver of social innovation;
• To disseminate research findings on people and organisation and their application through quality academic publications, seminars and conferences;
• To demonstrate societal benefit through our research contributing to nationally and internationally identified research priorities;
• To encourage research and teaching interchanges with scholars from other institutions who work in this field;
• To achieve excellence in teaching and mentoring early and emerging members and (Honours, Masters and PhD) students for academic, research and organisational careers in this area;

Centre research is of world class standing, demonstrated by top-tier, highly ranked refereed journal articles, the securing of competitive external and university research funding, and the outstanding individual achievements of our researchers.
