Project

Sabbatical Annie Hondeghem

The corona crisis has had important consequences for the organization and functioning of public transport
management. It is important to follow these developments closely and to include them in a
renewal of the discipline of public administration. This will be the renewal of the subject of public administration
of which I am the holder (see below).
During my career my research focus has mainly focused on HRM and leadership in the
public administration. A new project has recently started on evidence-based HRM of which I
I am a project leader and that I want to follow up closely. Also on the theme of leadership, and more
certain e-leadership, I want to do research. I am planning a research stay for this
Stellenbosch University (ZA), more specifically the School of Public Leadership, for which I
received a mobility grant from KU Leuven.
As coordinator of the Policy Research Center for Administrative Innovation (2021-2025), my research focus
also focus on recent developments in the organization and functioning of local authorities.
Themes that will be addressed in the new support center include regional development, local democracy, and
administrative power.
I also want to make further efforts in the research domain of asylum and integration, for example through the supervision of
a doctoral student. This is a new domain that I have profiled myself in the past five years
and where there are still many opportunities for research funding.
