Nina Szczygiel is an assistant professor in the Department of Economics, Management, Industrial Engineering and Tourism (DEGEIT) of the University of Aveiro and an integrated researcher at the Research Unit in Governance, Competitiveness and Public Policies (GOVCOPP). She currently serves as vice-director of the Master’s in Management programme. Her academic trajectory is strongly multidisciplinary, combining training in psychology (degree and master’s degree from the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Coimbra), economics (integrated master’s degree from the University of Economics in Katowice), and management (PhD from the University of Aveiro). Nina’s research adopts a human-centred perspective, examining how individuals and organisations navigate daily challenges, strategic decisions, change, and adaptation. Her work combines organisational behaviour, psychology, and management, integrating the study of individual competences, social resources, institutional contexts, and collaborative networks to better understand how people and organisations respond to transitions and complex demands, as well as the factors that shape these processes. In particular, she is interested in how individual and contextual factors influence individuals' behavioural and cognitive responses, decision-making, and collaborative processes, and how these contribute to sustainable behaviours and work-, organisational-, and health-related outcomes.
