 Welkom op de master's opene dag. Mijn naam is Jaap Pouwen en ik heb de departement van Human Resource Studies hier bij Tilburg University. Ik ben ook responsabel voor onze master's programma in Human Resource Studies. En eigenlijk Human Resource Studies is all about how we can develop, motivate and manage people at work. More formally we focus on the exchange relationship between employee and employer. And that's a kind of exchange relationship because people put effort into their work, they get some money in return, but work is more than just making a living. It's also a way of developing yourself, motivating other people of having fun with colleagues. So it's not only about performance in the sense of productivity or making a profit. No it's also about moral values like well-being, fairness, being treated in a proper way. And that's what we in Tilburg call our so-called balanced perspective. So it's not only looking at human resource management and performance from an added point of view, added economic added value, but it's also looking at human resource management and performance from a more moral perspective by which we take into account aspects of fairness, well-being and commitment. It's also a program which is based on different disciplines. If you want to approach human resource management from a variety of perspectives, we do not only need psychology or organizational behavior, but we also include in our program topics like strategic management, business studies and based on the tradition of our school, it's very important to be good in analytical methods, so we also pay attention to methods and statistics. Another aspect, characteristic of our program is the so-called multi-level nature of our program. The topic of human resource management, we approach not only from a societal level, but also from an organizational level, from a team level and from an individual level. That's the reason why we need all those different disciplines, because at a more individual level, there's a focus on the contribution of insights from organizational behavior and psychology. Whereas, for example, at the organizational level, we focus more on the input from strategic management and business studies. At the societal level, we need the input from sociology and the whole field of industrial relations. The balanced approach is also, you can also see it in our program through the fact that we do not only study topics from a managerial point of view, but also from an employee perspective. And finally in our program, we also focus on making sure that you have the right personal skills to never impact. The slogan of our master program is doing HR with an attitude. We want you to become a credible activist who is really able to implement changes in our organization in order to make it more effective and more pleasant for people to work in.
