Amir Rashid

Amir is undertaking a PhD on the topic of 'Characterising and Understanding Career and Job Commitment in the Pharmacy Profession', supervised by Professor Karen Hassell and Sheena Johnson (Manchester Business School).

Amir joined the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences as a full-time student in September 2008. Prior to this he had been working in Mental Health as an Honorary Researcher at the Royal Eye Hospital. However, the majority of Amir's research to date has been in the occupational and organisational psychology fields. He has conducted research in the public and private sectors as well as the third sector. Topics have included job stress, job motivation, organisational identity, perceived organisational support, the psychological contract and extra-role behaviours. Therefore, this PhD topic compliments and extends Amir's prior research to date and provides an excellent opportunity to delve deeper into the closely related topic of Commitment.
