Profile
Biography
I am Lecturer (Assistant Professor) of Business & Management since October 2022 with an interest in the intersection of Human Resource Management/Organizational Behaviour, Knowledge Management, and (Counter)productive Organizational Behaviours. I completed PhD from the University of Hong Kong in July 2022. The primary theme of my research is improving employee well-being and sustainability-oriented behavioural performance. I investigate the managerial practices, factors, and complex interactions between them that can affect employee well-being and sustainability-oriented performance (non)favourably. My research deals with a range of ex-ante and ex-post aspects of well-being and sustainability-oriented behavioural performance, including but not limited to well-being during religious fasting, menstruation, knowledge sharing, and knowledge hiding. I have published impactful research studies on the above theme in renowned subject-matter journals, including but not limited to the Journal of Business Research (Web of Science ESI Top 1% Highly Cited Articles), Technovation, the Journal of Knowledge Management, Management Decision, and Journal of Organizational Effectiveness: People & Performance, amongst others. My research papers have achieved several distinctions, such as the two Web of Science ESI Top 1% Highly Cited Articles, Best Research Postgraduate Paper Award, and the Journal's Most Downloaded Article. Further, my research has appeared in the European Union's 2020 Innovation Policy Report. I have been PI and Co-PI of several grants amounting to about 100,000 US Dollars from the University of Hong Kong and King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia. I am an Executive Editor of Knowledge Management & E-Learning, an indexed journal published by the University of Hong Kong, as well as an editorial advisory board member of academic and practitioner journals, including Management Decision (CABS 2* and one of the long-running journals of the management field), Journal of Small Business and Enterprise Development (CABS 2*), and International Journal of HRD: Practice, Policy & Research. I do peer-reviewed for several journals, including the Journal of Business Research, Info & Management, and Studies in Higher Education. I was awarded the Publons/Web of Science Top Peer-review Award in 2018. I love collaborating, helping, and supervising enthusiastic postgraduate research students. Interested collaborators and PhD students should always feel free to contact me by email. In this vein, I am an adjunct faculty member at the Faculty of Management at the University of Wah in Pakistan. Regarding my teaching experience and services, I served as the Module Co-leader and Lecturer of Knowledge Management for the master's in Library & Information Management program at the University of Hong Kong. I have received the renowned Advance HE Fellowship (formerly HEA) since February 2024. I am module leader of New Venture Creation at the University of Essex. Further, I teach and assess for other modules, such as Strategic Management, Capstone Projects, and master's dissertations. I do external examination and supervision for several Pakistani universities, including the Ulster University (2024-2027), University of Wah (2024), COMSATS University Islamabad (2022), Qurtuba University (2023), and Khushal Khan Khattak University (2023). My life is not just limited to academia 😊. I like running, reading, and enjoying the company of my favourite people in my leisure time.
