An Academician at the Faculty of Business & Economics, Universiti Malaya.  My main research area is in Organizational Behavior. Specifically, my research areas are focusing on 'Factors in organization(s) that will increase and maintains individual well-being at the workplace'. My research areas cover workplace well-being, employee development, training and development, workplace positive psychology, and any other behavioral related studies in organizations including those at the strategic and corporate levels. The research requires consistent understanding of the current workforce issues, economics and financial conditions (macro & micro level), geo-economic levels, and to forecast future workforce strategy and demands, for both in Malaysia and at the international levels.  Currently I am focusing on (Neuro)Diversity Workforce and Inclusivity which is one of the important elements under United Nation's (UN) SDGs Goals.  Anyone who are interested and passionate with these research areas may join me as co-researcher or join as Ph.D candidate under my supervision. I welcome you to write to me at safiah@um.edu.my so we can embark on this research journey together.    Best regards,  Safiah
