Syb Kuijper

Syb Kuijper is a Researcher at the Health Care Governance (HCG) group within the Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam. His work centers on the organizational, political, and ethnographic dimensions of nursing and healthcare delivery, with a focus on reorganization, job crafting, and care practice redesign.

His research interests lie at the intersection of health policy, nursing practice, and organizational change. Using ethnographic methods, he investigates how nursing roles are negotiated within healthcare institutions, how turnover can be reduced through improved work environments, and the political and epistemic challenges in redesigning care work. His work critically examines the tensions between innovation and patient safety, efficiency and equity, and managerial reform and professional autonomy.

The recent publications indicate a strong trajectory in qualitative and mixed-methods research on Dutch healthcare systems, with a particular emphasis on nursing retention, differentiated practice models, and the micro-politics of healthcare reform. His studies often involve collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and consortia, reflecting a systems-oriented approach to health services research.
