About Khadija

I am an associate professor of management at the University of New Haven where I teach MBA and undergraduate courses in Management. I received my Ph.D. from New Mexico State University in Business Administration, with a specialization in Human Resource Management, and a minor in Counseling and Educational Psychology. I have significant academic and professional international work experience. Prior to joining the University of New Haven, I held Academic and professional jobs in Morocco and the United Arab Emirates. Besides my academic experience in both countries, I worked as a consultant and corporate trainer in Dubai and as an officer in the Moroccan Ministry of Public Works. I received multiple awards throughout my academic career such as, the Academy of Management award for the second most promising dissertation in the area of Management, Religion and Spirituality, the Fulbright-Hays grant for the project, " Global Classrooms and Cultural Connections for the 21st Century Learners: Morocco’s Bountiful Perspectives " and the Chevening Scholarship offered by the British Government. My research interests include spiritual and global leadership, International Human Resource Management/Human Resource Development (IHRM, IHRD) and Management Education. I serve as an ad-hoc reviewer for many journals such as the International Journal of Human Resource Management, the Journal of Business Ethics, Human Relations, and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: An International Journal. I am a member of multiple professional/academic Associations such as, the Academy of Management, the Eastern Academy of Management, and the Academy of Human Resource Development.
