TEACHING INTERESTS

Michal strongly believes that teaching at the university level should be research-informed. Consequently, his main areas of teaching correspond to his research areas (e.g. the recent re-shaping of the work and employment patters, flexible, mobile and hybrid work), as well as methodological expertise (qualitative research methods and research philosophy). He convened, taught and coordinated twenty research-informed courses in the areas of Organisation Studies, Human Relations and Organisational Behaviour at all levels of UG and PGT/PGR provision, led a PhD program and successfully supervised doctoral projects to a completion.
