Wajda Wikhamn serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Communication and Culture at BI Norwegian Business School, where she has been employed since 2018. Her academic career shows steady progression from PhD candidate to associate professor at University of Gothenburg (2004-2018) before joining BI. Her scholarly profile centers on organizational behavior and human resource management with particular expertise in talent management systems and their psychological impacts on employees.
Dr. Wikhamn's educational foundation includes a PhD in Business Administration from University of Gothenburg (2008), following which she held successive academic positions at the same institution. Her research interests span talent management, sustainable HR practices, innovation dynamics, gender diversity in R&D settings, and the psychological mechanisms underlying employee responses to organizational practices.
Analysis of her recent publications (2019-2023) reveals consistent focus on how organizational practices affect employee psychological states and performance outcomes. Her work frequently employs theoretical frameworks from social identity theory, psychological contract theory, and conservation of resources theory, with methodological approaches ranging from multi-study constructive replications to longitudinal case studies. A recurring theme examines the tension between organizational demands (like after-hours communication expectations) and employee well-being.
Her research has appeared in leading journals including Work & Stress, Human Resource Management Journal, and International Journal of Human Resource Management, demonstrating strong engagement with both theoretical development and practical implications for organizations. Current work shows particular attention to digital workplace boundaries and the nuanced impacts of talent designation systems.
Dr. Wikhamn maintains active research collaborations with scholars across Scandinavia and internationally, as evidenced by her co-authored publications with researchers from multiple institutions. Her work bridges academic theory and practical HR applications, particularly in Scandinavian business contexts where she examines how organizational practices affect employee experiences and organizational outcomes.
