Dr Neela NSM Mühlemann
Senior Lecturer in Human Resources and Organisational Behaviour
Dr Neela S. Mühlemann joined the University of Greenwich in December 2020 as a lecturer in Human Resource Management and Organisational Behaviour. She has a background in social and organisational psychology and holds a PhD in Psychology awarded by the University of Zurich, Switzerland. Prior to joining the Department of Human Resource Management and Organisational Behaviour, she was a Teaching Fellow and Research Officer at the London School of Economics and Political Science and a Research Associate at the Nottingham Trent University. Outside academia, she has gained working experience in consulting and HR related areas such as recruitment, leadership evaluation, people development and training.
In her research, she applies a social identity approach to study identity change and group processes in organisations, leadership, health and well-being. In particular, her work addresses the questions how change (on the social, organisational, and individual level) and the associated identity dynamics can affect health and well-being and how identity transitions can be managed to facilitate adjustment. In her PhD thesis she developed the Social Identity Model of Organizational Change (SIMOC) which aims to explain leadership and group processes during organisational changes and employees’ adjustment to change.
