CRANET BiH

The Faculty of Economics, University of Banja Luka, has been a member of the international CRANET research network since 2021 and represents Bosnia and Herzegovina within the network.

Membership in CRANET enables the Faculty of Economics to include Bosnia and Herzegovina in international comparative research in the field of human resource management and to contribute to the development of a reliable empirical basis for understanding HRM practices in the country.

Data collected from organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina make it possible to examine the specific characteristics of the domestic context, identify the most prevalent practices, and determine the areas in which differences exist compared with other countries. At the same time, the repetition of the research across different survey rounds provides a basis for monitoring changes in the way organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina manage their human resources.

The activities of CRANET BiH are also aimed at connecting the academic community and practice. The data and insights generated through CRANET research can contribute to the development of scientific research and teaching, as well as to a better understanding of the contemporary challenges faced by HR professionals, managers, and organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Membership in the network also provides researchers from the Faculty of Economics, University of Banja Luka, with opportunities to collaborate with colleagues from other countries, exchange knowledge and experience, and include research findings from Bosnia and Herzegovina in broader international analyses in the field of human resource management.
