Personal statement
I teach and research in several areas of work psychology, organisational behaviour and HRM. I’m currently one of the Editors-in-Chief of the Human Resource Management Journal and a member of several editorial boards and professional associations in the fields of psychology, and business and management. I've also been involved in a variety of research projects funded by UK and international institutions; e.g. the Economic and Social Research Council, The Leverhulme Trust, the European Commission, the Association of Police Constables of England and Wales, and the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences.
Previous roles include: representing the University on the Supervisory Board for the Scottish Graduate School of Social Science & ESRC Doctoral Training Centre (Scotland) (2014-2016); member of the Strathclyde team co-ordinating the Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) The changing nature of employment in Europe in the context of challenges, threats and opportunities for employees and employers (2012-2016); Business School Associate Dean for Postgraduate Research (2010-2013); and Deputy Head of Department of HRM (2009-2014).
Teaching
My areas of teaching expertise cover work psychology, organisational behaviour and HRM generally, but with specific specialism in recruitment, assessment and selection, employee wellbeing and stress, research methodology and statistics.
Research interests
My recent research activity has focused on job quality, working time and wellbeing, graduate underemployment and career transitions, recruitment and selection practices, particularly the impact on social mobility, and the use of social media by employers to carry out recruitment, screening and performance monitoring of employees.
Other areas of interest include:
- Work design and employee wellbeing. This has included research on the psychological effects of shiftwork, different types of work (e.g. call centre or software work) and particular forms of HRM (for example, High Performance Work Systems). I am interested in the effects of these types of work on employee wellbeing and attitudes generally. For recent work see: Unpredictable working time, wellbeing and health in the police service.

- The organisational context of recruitment and selection decision processes. My research on these areas of HRM has spanned a variety of industry sectors, including hotels, construction, professions, the voluntary sector, and the military.

- Advanced Undergraduate Entrants: Enhancing Employability and Supporting Positive Graduate Destinations
- Anderson, Pauline (Principal Investigator) Scholarios, Dora (Co-investigator) Dutton, Eli (Co-investigator)
- Students entering university at second year or above face a number of challenges, such as integrating into pre-existing social groups and adjusting to pedagogical changes. The limited literature on advanced college entrants tends to focus on transitions into and through university but there is an evidence gap in relation to the transitions beyond university for this student group. This project aims to fill this gap with a view to informing practices that will enhance employability and support positive graduate destinations.
