Biography
Dr Timming is Reader (US = a senior level professor) in Management at the University of St Andrews. He has a PhD in Economic Sociology from the University of Cambridge (Clare Hall). Prior to that, from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln he was also awarded an MA in Sociology and a BA in Sociology and Latin American Studies.
Before coming to lovely St Andrews, he was previously Lecturer in International and Comparative HRM at Manchester Business School, the University of Manchester. He also taught management at the AFL-CIO’s National Labor College and lectured in quantitative methods in the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Cambridge. He has been a visiting scholar at the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.
Dr Timming has two years of industry experience, having served as an HR and strategy consultant for trade unions in the United States. He has a strong commitment to advancing the interests of organised labour and fostering positive sum union-management partnerships.
From 2011 to 2012, he served as Principal Investigator of a $618,000 grant awarded by the US-based FINRA organisation. The aim of the grant was to promote investor education and financial literacy among rank-and-file labour union members.
Dr Timming was trained in sociometrics and specialises in latent variable analysis / structural equation modelling. Don’t be surprised if he asks you to fill out a questionnaire!
He is on the Editorial Board of Work, Employment & Society.
He enjoys fishing immensely, but certainly not as much as reading books every night with his beautiful son.
Research Specialisms
Dr Timming's primary research interests lie in the twin areas of employee voice (involvement / participation) and employee silence. Most recently, he has written a paper that explains employee silence as a correlate of the F-Scale from Adorno et al's The Authoritarian Personality.
He has a secondary interest in the body art industry (though he admits wryly that he's much too squeamish to get a tattoo himself).
He is interested in supervising PhD students with similar interests.
