Fatima Malik serves as a Lecturer in People Management at the Salford Business School, University of Salford. She holds dual professional recognition as a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) since 2014 and an Academic Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD), with over 10 years of teaching experience across apprenticeship, executive education, undergraduate, and postgraduate HRM and Business & Management programs.
Her educational foundation spans multiple disciplines: a current Doctoral researcher status (part-time) examining technology-initiated work quality in manufacturing; an MPhil on VET supply-demand dynamics in high-skill manufacturing (2009-2015); a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching & Learning in HE (2013); an MBA with distinction focusing on ISO certification impacts (2003-2005); an MSc in Analytical Chemistry (1993-1994); and a BSc in Chemistry (1987-1991).
Dr. Malik's research program centers on critical intersections of work-life conflict, employee voice mechanisms, and Industry 4.0/5.0 technological impacts within manufacturing contexts. She investigates gender-specific work-life experiences among UK women, VET effects on high-skill employers, and staff voice around technological transitions. Her methodological expertise includes advanced qualitative approaches such as photo-elicitation, participant reflexivity frameworks, and boundary management theory applications, frequently employing semi-structured interviews and autoethnographic techniques.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals consistent focus on organizational behavior within manufacturing and service sectors, with particular emphasis on qualitative explorations of work-life integration, employer engagement in vocational training, and identity negotiation in non-traditional family structures. Her work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical HRM applications, demonstrating strong alignment with contemporary challenges in high-skill industries.
