I hold a PhD in management obtained from Auckland University of Technology (AUT). My PhD thesis, "Conceptualizing and Measuring Employee engagement, and Examining the Antecedents of Leadership Styles and Personality Attributes", aimed at developing a reliable and valid measure of employee engagement, and examining the key factors expected to enhance employees’ levels of engagement at the work place. In terms of publication, empirical papers published in peer-reviewed journals can be found at: Ababneh, O. M. A., LeFevre, M., Bentley, T. (2019). Employee engagement: Development of a new measure.

I was responsible for training new faculty members, leading quality committees, and writing the final accreditation report. I received intensive and focused training programmes and I got certificates in ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System: Internal Auditing, Outcome Based Curriculum Development and Assessment, Students Involvement and Engagement with Class Activities, Customer Service, Effective Communication, and Team Building). During my teaching experience at Auckland University of Technology and Emirates College of Technology, I taught several papers related to HRM and business management (e.g. HRM papers, Business Organization and Management, Organizational Behaviour, Service Marketing, Professional Ethics).
