Ana Sabino

Ana Sabino serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at ISPA University Institute's School of Psychology and Behavioral Sciences, where she is actively affiliated with the Applied Psychology Research Center Capabilities & Inclusion. Her academic work bridges organizational theory with practical workplace applications, focusing on contemporary challenges in human resource systems and leadership dynamics.

Her research program centers on Human Resources Management, Leadership, and Organizational Behavior with particular emphasis on the 'dark side' of organizations. She investigates critical phenomena including Green HRM, toxic leadership, telework arrangements, and sustainability practices, often employing Portuguese worker samples to examine cross-cultural validity of organizational theories. Her work consistently explores psychological mechanisms underlying employee voice, silence, well-being, and ethical decision-making in complex work environments.

Analysis of her recent publications reveals three dominant trends: (1) Sustainability integration in HR practices with examination of greenwashing risks, (2) Toxic leadership's impact on employee behavioral responses through mediators like bullying and loyalty, and (3) Pandemic-era evolution of telework and work-life integration. These streams demonstrate methodological rigor through scale validation studies and contextual sensitivity to Portuguese organizational culture.

As a core member of the Applied Psychology Research Center Capabilities & Inclusion, Dr. Sabino contributes to research initiatives examining inclusive workplace practices, capability development frameworks, and organizational interventions that enhance employee potential while addressing systemic barriers to participation.
