Bio

EN
I am an organisational theorist interested in social issues in management, specialised in non-standard and precarious work in the context of digital platforms. Using qualitative methods, my research and teaching passion is to investigate and educate on the adaptation of organisations and workers to current trends of fast technological innovation, high precarity, and strong demand for business to be socially responsible.

Ik ben een organisatorisch theoreticus die geïnteresseerd is in sociale kwesties in management, gespecialiseerd in niet-standaard en precair werk binnen de context van digitale platforms. Mijn passie in onderzoek en onderwijs is om met behulp van kwalitatieve methoden de aanpassing van organisaties en werknemers aan de huidige trends van snelle technologische innovatie, hoge precariteit en de sterke vraag naar maatschappelijk verantwoord ondernemen te onderzoeken en te onderwijzen.
