Personnel or human resource management must take place in every organization. It is essential for the survival of organizations that suitable employees are found and motivated to work in the organization in accordance with the objectives. There are a variety of options for who takes on the task and how it is carried out. The HRM group’s courses are therefore an essential part of the master’s programs “Economics”, “Law and Economics” and “Language-Economics-Culture”.
In practice, however, the legal framework is also very important for companies. The specialization “Human Resource Management” in the Master’s program “Law and Business” particularly addresses this fact. It provides a well-founded overview of the tasks of HRM and the various practices for carrying them out, of the changes brought about by digitalization, diversity and sustainability and deals with the most important social, legal, digital, cultural and ecological framework conditions that influence and shape human resource management in organizations.
The HRM specialization is divided into 3 modules: “HRM Methods”, “Functional HRM” and “Strategic HRM”.
The ÖPWZ Personnel Forum, the largest association of HR managers in Austria, has published an assessment of the most important areas in HRM in the form of HR standards. The content of our specialization covers most of these, which means that graduates are very well prepared for a successful career in personnel and HR management. Other career prospects can be found in management or personnel consulting, in interest groups (chambers) and in general management with personnel responsibility.
