Maarten Renkema is Assistant Professor at the University of Twente (NL) in the field of Human Resource Management & Innovation. He obtained his two Master degrees: in Business Administration (University of Twente, 2014); and in Innovation Management & Entrepreneurship (Technische Universität Berlin, 2014). He obtained his doctoral degree in 2018 (cum laude) for his dissertation: "Innovating HRM for Employee-Driven Innovation: A Multilevel Perspective". 

His research focuses on the interseciton between HRM, technology and innovation, approached from a multilevel perspective. Particularly he is interested in combining two main areas, (1) employee-driven innovation and (2) innovative and high-tech HRM activities. The first area is focused on how organizations can stimulate and facilitate bottom-up innovation by work-floor employees. The second area entails studying in what ways new technologies (e.g. Artificial Intelligence) and novel management practices (e.g. self-management) have an impact on both HRM and Innovation practices. 

Research of Maarten has been published in peer-reviewed international journals such as Human Resource Management Review, The International Journal of Human Resource Management, Creativity & Innovation Management, Personnel Review, Journal of Nursing Management and Journal of Organizational Effectiveness: People and Performance. Furthermore, he was involved in organizing and participating several international workshops about multilevel HRM & Innovation. 

Next to that, Maarten is involved in teaching, coordination and supervision of students in International Business Administration (bachelor), Health Sciences (bachelor, and Business Administration (Master).

He is co-chair of the Programme Committee of Health Sciences and of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Board. Furthermore, Maarten is treasurer of the UTK-Futsal.
