Human resources and industrial relations (HRIR) studies the employment relationship. Teaching and research are guided by the belief that the employment relationship must be investigated through the lenses of different disciplines using systems thinking. The doctoral degree is a research degree for individuals interested in academic careers. The curriculum is designed to expose students to a multidisciplinary view of work-related research in terms of research questions, theory, methods, and analytic approaches, while allowing for in-depth and focused research within particular domains based on faculty expertise and student interest. The curriculum is rooted in key theorizing from the social and behavioral sciences and business, such as industrial-organizational psychology, organizational behavior, personnel and organizational economics, and industrial relations; and is complemented by intensive coursework in research methods and by seminars that focus on specific areas of applied research.
