Biography

Fatima Malik, as a Lecturer in Human Resource Management at the University of Salford, is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and MCIPD (Academic Member of the CIPD) qualified. Asa qualitative researcher, my research interests include exploring the: work-life conflict experiences of employed parents; and in examining the skills & training requirements of high skill workplaces (supply/demand contexts and apprenticeships). This work has been presented at international and UK conferences (e.g. Academy of Management (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018), British Academy of Management (UK - 2014, 2015); Work and Family Research Network (US - 2014, 2016, 2018). Article contributions include: The British Journal of Management; Organisational Research Methods; Journal of Education and Work; Journal of Personnel Review. Currently I am exploring digitalisation's (robotics) impact on high skill professional work, notably in the NHS (PhD research). My research experience also extends to working with the third voluntary sector (impact of public sector budgetary cuts) and with employers and SME businesses around assessing their work-life balance policies and practices.
