Dr Sarah Jones serves as Deputy Dean within the Senior Management Team of the Faculty of Business and Law at the University of Northampton. An experienced academic leader in UK higher education, she specializes in trans-national education (TNE) while driving high-quality student experiences and fostering environments where learning, research, and enterprise thrive. Her leadership spans portfolio design, development, and people management across international educational contexts.
Her research expertise centers on Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior with deep specialization in Reward Management, Employment Relations, Employment Law, and Talent Management. Active publication since 2011 demonstrates consistent contribution to performance management strategy and equity issues within reward systems, particularly examining UK private sector dynamics and organizational contingencies.
Analysis of her publication history reveals evolving focus from foundational talent reward systems (2011) through strategic pay dilemmas (2016) to contemporary comprehensive reward frameworks (2024). The trajectory shows increasing sophistication in addressing dualities between organizational contingencies, pay structures, and HR performance outcomes, with strong emphasis on UK contexts and human capital applications.
As an active PhD supervisor with four supervised works documented, she maintains significant engagement with emerging scholars. Her professional activities include committee leadership (CIPD Northants Branch Chair 2018-2022) and frequent presentations on strategic pay reassessment, reward system design, and pay secrecy dynamics.
Her research infrastructure includes ongoing collaboration with CIPD on biennial Reward Management Survey Reports (2013, 2014-15) and extensive work with co-authors Perkins, White, and Shortland across multiple publication formats including books, commissioned reports, and conference papers. Current research continues to explore performance management integration within strategic reward frameworks.
