Human organising in entrepreneurship, innovation, and quality management (Human)
In the context of global phenomena such as the emergence of new digital technologies and the need to achieve a sustainable world, innovation is at the core of many organizations today. The research group Human organising in entrepreneurship, innovation, and quality management (Human) interest is in the exploration of the micro-foundations of innovation and change processes that enables different kinds of innovations in organisations – such as process, product and service innovations, or workplace innovations related to health and quality in the workplace. A key focus to understand what enables and prevents innovation and change processes in working life is the social dynamics and cultural aspects that emerge from the social interaction between people in different working life contexts. Thus, phenomena-driven research and a process perspective are commonly used to understand how and why innovation and change occurs.

he current pandemic situation with the corona virus disease (Covid-19), has forced organizations to take measures in the workplace to limit the spread of the virus while maintaining a normal work pace. Some organizations around the world have moved to teleworking because of the virus where the immediate transition may prove to be challenging for both employees and managers in different ways. Thus, the project seeks to explore the experiences of individuals who are required to work from home as a result of covid-19 both from the employee’s perspective and the manager’s perspective.
