Background

About David Cross

Southampton, United Kingdom My research interests come under the broad banner of the changing world of work but in particular, the realm of self-employment. This is in conjunction with investigating workplace commitment, consultants, client relationships, and project network organisations. More recently, my work investigates the link, or lack of one, between the profession and practice of HR and that world of self-employment. I have recently been granted funding by the CIPD to examine this. My research has been published in internationally renowned journals such as Human Resource Management Journal, Organization Studies, and Human Resource Management Review. I sit on the Steering Committee of the Work Futures Research Centre and am a member of the Centre for Research on Work and Organisations. In terms of teaching, I lead two modules at the Undergraduate level; MANG1003 Introduction to Management and MANG1021 Ideas that shape the business world 2: Markets and consumers. I love to combine my teaching and research, and enjoy passing my passion on to engaged students. If you're a former or current student, say 'Hi!' and let me know how you are.
