MSc in Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior
University of Limassol · Limassol, Cyprus
The Master of Science (MSc) in Human Resource Management (HRM) and Organizational Behavior (OB) program is a response to the imperative of business and organizations to recognize that employees are their most valuable asset and the need to treat them as such if they are to remain competitive. Their competitiveness largely depends on their employees’ skills, knowledge, engagement and ability to adapt quickly to changing business requirements. As the nature of work continues to evolve, achieving a healthy work-life balance has become increasingly important. The new world of work places greater emphasis on flexible schedules, remote work, and collaboration across time zones and borders. Organizations are also increasingly recognizing the importance of work-life balance and are implementing policies and practices that enable employees to achieve this balance, which turns out to be a critical factor in employee satisfaction, motivation and performance. Therefore, the human resources function assumes a far more strategic role than before in driving business results and effectiveness. Students attending the program will gain the required skills and knowledge to help organisations align their people strategy with business strategy and navigate confidently in today’s competitive and uncertain environment. The program is nationally accredited by CYQAA and recognized by KYSATS .
