Teaching

I'm Academic Director of Å·ÃÀ¸ßÇå's MSc Occupational Psychology - the only such Masters in Scotland accredited by the British Psychological Society as a training route to chartership in occupational psychology - and the MSc Work and Organisational Psychology, both established in 2022.

My areas of teaching expertise cover work psychology, organisational behaviour and HRM generally, but with specialisms in recruitment, assessment and selection, employee wellbeing and stress, research methodology and statistics.

Research Interests

My research activity has focused on:

Ìý

Ìý

HRM, work design and employee wellbeing, including the psychological effects of new technology, shiftwork, different types of work (e.g. microworkers, call centres, software, police), and the impact of HRM practices on employee outcomes (e.g., skill, attitudes). For recent work see:Ìý

• Industry 5 and the human in human-centric manufacturing.
• Migrant worker well-being as a struggle for meaningful work: Evidence from Bangladeshi migrants in a developing country.
• ‘If he just knew who we were’: Microworkers’ emerging bonds of attachment in a fragmented employment relationship.
• A multilevel examination of skills-oriented HRM and perceived skill utilization during recession: Implications for the wellbeing of all workers.ÌýÌý
• Unpredictable working time, wellbeing and health in the police service.Ìý

Careers and employability, with a focus on youth employment/underemployment. See for example:

• 2020-2021 Survey Study:ÌýÌýCareers, well-being and hopes for the future.
• What are the career implications of ‘seeing eye to eye’? Examining the role of leader-member exchange (LMX) agreement on employability and career outcomes..
• Supervisor-subordinate age dissimilarity and its impact on supervisory ratings of employability: Does supportive learning context make a difference? .
• Focused for some, exploratory for others: job search strategies and successful university-to-work transitions in the context of labour market ambiguity.Ìý.
• Position, possession or process? Understanding objective and subjective employability during university-to-work transitions.Ìý.

This is a two-year, longitudinal research project funded by a British Academy Small Grant which will examine the associations between career self-management, employability and employment success during university-to-work transitions. Waves I and II measure career self-management, intentions and job search strategies during the last year of university and immediately upon graduation, respectively; and Wave III examines employment quality (e.g., skill use), attitudes and well-being six months after graduation. The research will contribute to a more detailed understanding of graduate employability and employment success at a time of increasing uncertainty, and have implications for policymakers, employers, universities and graduates.
