What do non-human animals have to do with organisational research? How can animal agency and interests become central issues in future organisational research? In our human-run organisations and societies, animals work for and with us in a variety of roles, even though their economically valuable, medical, and health-related contributions are rarely considered as work.
In PAWWS, organisational researchers, veterinary scientists, and clinical dog experts collaborate to generate new and integrated knowledge about human-animal relationships and the intertwined well-being of humans and working animals in organisations.

Vad har icke-mänskliga djur med organisationsforskningen att göra? Hur kan djurs aktörskap och intressen bli centrala frågor inom en framåtblickande organisationsforskning?

Inom PAWWS arbetar vi organisationsforskare, veterinärmedicinska forskare och kliniska hundexperter tillsammans för att skapa ny och integrerad kunskap om människo-djurrelationer och människors och arbetande djurs sammanvävda välmående i organisationer.
