Dr Karen Niven

Biography

I am a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Organisational Psychology. I joined the AMBS faculty in January 2012.

My research focuses on social relationships in the workplace, particularly how people influence the emotions of those around them and the 'darker' side of relationships (e.g., bullying, aggression). I have published in a range of organisational psychology, management, and social psychology journals, and co-edited a popular science book about emotions.

I currently hold Associate Editor roles at European Journal of Work and Organisational Psychology and Organizational Psychology Review, and serve on the Editorial Review Boards of Journal of Management, Journal of Organizational Behavior, Human Relations, and Journal of Applied Social Psychology. I am a former Trustee of the Richard Benjamin Trust grant board.
