SHORT BIO

I am an Associate Professor at the School of Business Administration. I completed my post-doctoral research at Tilburg University (the Netherlands) and was a visiting Associated Professor at the University of Washington (USA). I am a Fellow at the Humboldt Foundation (University of Münster, Germany). As a former associate editor of the International Journal of Human Resource Management, I am currently on the editorial boards of several academic journals as well as local and international committees in the field of business management.

My research addresses questions aimed to improve employee well-being. I use a balanced approach whereby employees’ physical and emotional health is considered alongside, and indeed as a facilitator of, high performance. In particular, I focus on employee relations with others at work (supervisors, colleagues) and outside of work (family, friends). For example, from a dynamic lens, I study how attitudes and behaviors at work (e.g., within teams) spill over to impact the wider community. In my free time, I love to travel with my husband and three girls, and running. One day I hope to become a DJ.

Scaling up green management training programs across the Middle East and Africa

“Countries in the Middle East and Africa are among the world’s most exposed states to the accelerating impacts of climate change. Rising sea levels, intense sandstorms, dwindling precipitation, and soaring heat waves are some of the effects.
Together with colleagues from the region, we offer a program aimed at helping organizations make small changes to their daily activities that align with sustainable values.”
– Prof. Michal Biron

FUNDRAISING NEEDS

The Center for the Study of Organizations and Human Resource Management (COHRM)

COHRM was established in 2000, with the key goals to (1) support research and disseminate knowledge in the field of organizations, human resources management and labor relations to faculty, students, professionals and the wider public, and to (2) create and coordinate opportunities for academia-industry collaborations. We seek to serve as a hub for students and provide them with opportunities to present and discuss their work, initiate research projects, and advance their skills via research colloquia and workshops. COHRM is unique in Israel. The Center publishes a Journal – “The Study of Organizations and Human Resource Management Quarterly”, accredited by the Israel Institute for Higher Education. We also hold an annual conference, which attracts some 150 scholars and practitioners.
