Work and Organizational Psychology is concerned with the behavior of individuals in work situations. This field of study addresses the causes and consequences of behavior in work situations, thereby covering the individual level, the team level, and the organizational level. The subject of the master’s thesis has to be within the specific field of one of the supervisors and should be linked to a current project of the department. Current research topics in the department include, for instance:
◦ work engagement
◦ burnout, stress, sickness absence
◦ authenticity at work
◦ workaholism
◦ work-family balance
◦ diversity, stigmatization of women and ethnic minorities
◦ flexible workplace strategies
◦ performance and productivity
◦ job crafting, self regulation
◦ career development, lifetime employability
◦ gossiping in the workplace
To discuss thesis topics and procedures, students should contact the coordinator of the programme. It is a prerequisite that a supervisor from the department approves the topic the student wishes to study. After completion of the thesis, the student is able to independently conduct simple psychological research. In addition, the student will have acquired basic skills to write a scientific report in a format that is commonly used in the field.
