Profile
I obtained a BSc (with honours) in Psychology from the University of Konstanz, Germany; and a MSc (Distinction) and PhD from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in Employment Relations and Organisational Behaviour in 2015. After my PhD, I was a research assistant at the LSE as part of two collaborative projects. Prior to joining the Work & Employment Division at the University of Leicester in April 2019, I had been a lecturer at the DMU.
Research
|
My research interests lie in employer collective action and mobilisation from a comparative employment relations perspective. My research is interdisciplinary drawing on insights on employer collective action from the employment relations, organization studies, political science, and economic geography literatures. Based on my background in psychology, I am also involved in a collaborative project (with David Marsden) on the introduction of performance-related pay (PRP) in British schools. Selected publications: Ibsen, C. L., Sezer, L. & Doellgast, V. (Online First). Coordination versus organization: Diverging logics of firm cooperation in Denmark and Sweden. British Journal of Industrial Relations. Sezer, L. A. (2022). Countervailing power and state threats: The case of pro-religious employers’ organizations in Turkey. In L. Gooberman & M.
