Dr Sara Manalsuren

I am a Senior Lecturer in Management and Lead for International Collaborations at London South Bank University (LSBU), specialising in sustainable and equitable management practices, Common Good HRM, and cross-cultural management. My academic work is underpinned by extensive experience in management consultancy, with a particular focus on HR practices, leadership, and cross-cultural management in transitional economies.

My background is in international management and human resource management (HRM). In my research, I adopt an interdisciplinary approach to studying international management theories and practices, with an emphasis on equitable managerial practices and sustainable HRM. I address critical issues such as employee voice, gender inequality, and the impact of HRM on societal good for multiple stakeholders.

This work involves examining influences at the macro level (socio-cultural, institutional, and political changes), meso level (organisational culture, uncertainty, and networking), and micro level (generational differences, gender, and lived experiences). I explore these dynamics across different types of employees, organisational sizes, and economic contexts, using qualitative research methods.

Currently, I am working on several projects, including: gender identity and inequality among female managers, barriers to employee voice from the perspectives of female line managers, gender inequality in STEM industries, and a multi-stakeholder collaboration approach with a focus on Common Good HRM.

My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals within the HRM field and has contributed book chapters on management practices in transitional economies. Additionally, I have presented my work at international conferences such as the British Academy of Management (BAM) and the Work, Employment, and Society (WES) conference.
