Welcome
The center has been operating since 1999. As of 2023, the center is jointly managed by the University of Haifa and Emek Jezreel College. Its activities focus on studying the human factor in the modern organization, through conducting and disseminating research, development and learning, encouraging interdisciplinary research collaborations, education, enrichment, and social involvement. The center is unique in Israel, and the center’s researchers’ aspiration is its development and transformation into a national knowledge center from which, from Emek Jezreel College and the University of Haifa, “the Torah will issue forth” in everything related to the behavioral aspect of management. The center is multidisciplinary and serves as a basis for scientific and research interaction between researchers, research fellows, as well as advanced research students.
On May 20, 2025, the annual conference of the Center for Organizational Research and Human Resource Management will be held.
On May 29, 2024, the 24th seminar of the Center for Organizational Research and Human Resource Management will be held.
The conference will deal with “Human Resources Management in Times of Crisis: Business Continuity Alongside Social-Civic Engagement.”

Hoping for the release of the kidnapped men and women and for better days for all of us,

Human services is a unique field of knowledge that has been growing in recent decades in academia and reflects two significant changes. The first is the socio-technological transition to an economy based on activity in various service industries (such as finance, health, education, welfare, security, hospitality, etc.), and the second is a continuing decline in community response to human needs and the transfer of their care to service organizations. As citizens, residents, customers, managers, and employees, we are surrounded by diverse service encounters. Service organizations and the encounter with them are so central to our lives that it is very difficult to separate the quality of services from the quality of life, life chances, and life expectancy of people.
This brief description explains to us the richness contained in the field of knowledge of human services and points to interdisciplinarity as a challenging characteristic of human services. Human services combine insights and concepts from a variety of neighboring fields, such as psychology, law, sociology, management, anthropology, economics, social work, communications, and more, with the aim of formulating insights that are connected to the world of practice: the professional initiation, organization, and management of services so that they best meet human needs.

The Center for Organizational Research is pleased to publish the first issue of 2024 of the Organizational Research and Human Resource Management Quarterly.
The issue is being published during a challenging period of war that affects a variety of areas of our lives, both personal and professional. Accordingly, this issue includes a reference to the war, alongside articles that reflect the complexity of managerial processes in contemporary reality. In addition, we are proud to launch the section: “Spotlight on Leadership.”
We support the security and rescue forces and hope for the return, today, of all the kidnapped.
