Introduction

As the Vice Dean for General Affairs and Associate Professor at the Faculty of Management of Budapest Business University, I have been working since 2014 to create a learning environment where students not only gain knowledge, but also build confidence and professional identity. In my teaching, I focus primarily on Organizational Behavior and Organizational Development—fields I find particularly exciting because they reveal not only the rational logic of organizational functioning, but also its human dimension.

I earned my degree in Psychology at the University of Pécs and completed my postgraduate training in Work and Organizational Psychology at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. My doctoral research, conducted at the University of Pécs, examined how ageing employees are perceived within organizations and the stereotypes that influence their evaluation. Alongside my academic career, I worked for several years in the corporate sector and as an HR development consultant—experience that continues to shape my approach. I believe it is essential that teaching and research remain connected to real organizational challenges.

My research focuses on human and organizational behavior, as well as the HRM practices of small and medium-sized enterprises. I am particularly interested in the less visible, yet highly influential aspects of organizational life: what supports employee well-being, how people respond to change, and how a culture can be built that enables talent to genuinely flourish. I believe that organizations function best when the human dimension is not an afterthought but a starting point—an approach I strive to uphold consistently in both my teaching and leadership roles.
