Hello and Welcome!

I am Associate Prof. Dr. Safiah Omar, an academician at the Faculty of Business and Economics, Universiti Malaya. My passion lies at the heart of every successful organization: its people.

My Mission: Happier, Inclusive Workplaces

My main research area is Organizational Behavior. I am deeply fascinated by the "why" and "how" of workplace dynamics, specifically focusing on the factors that increase and maintain individual well-being at work. I believe that a thriving, supported workforce is the foundation of a healthy economy.

To help organizations and their people grow, my research dives into several exciting areas:

• Workplace Positive Psychology: Exploring what makes employees truly happy, resilient, and engaged.

• Neurodiversity & Inclusivity: Championing neuro-inclusive work environments, which is a vital element under the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

• Future Workforce Strategy: Forecasting future workforce demands by analyzing current macro and microeconomic conditions, both in Malaysia and globally.

• Employee Development: Designing better training and developmental pathways to support modern workers.

Let's Collaborate!

Whether it is understanding the complexities of global economics or building a more inclusive corporate strategy, I love connecting academic research with real-world solutions.

I am always on the lookout for like-minded individuals to collaborate with! If you are as passionate as I am about workplace well-being, positive psychology, or neurodiversity, I would love to connect. I actively welcome prospective Ph.D. candidates and co-researchers to join me on this meaningful research journey.

Feel free to drop me an email at safiah@um.edu.my so we can start a conversation.

Best regards,

Safiah
