Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) - Human Resource Management

Our Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Management with a specialization in Human Resource Management (HRM) is a rigorous, research-driven degree designed for scholars and professionals who aim to deepen the theoretical and practical understanding of HRM. This program centers on developing advanced competencies in research methods—both qualitative and quantitative—while addressing critical issues in organizational behavior, talent management, labor relations, and strategic human resource planning. Throughout the program, candidates engage in intensive scholarly work, typically beginning with advanced coursework in contemporary HRM theories and research methodologies. This foundational training is followed by comprehensive research projects and the development of a doctoral dissertation that contributes new insights into how strategic HR practices can drive organizational success. The emphasis is not only on understanding the established frameworks of HRM but also on exploring emerging areas such as diversity and inclusion, digital transformation in human resources, and the evolving dynamics of global workforce management.
