 The British Journal of Management recently published the article Stress and Burnout in Bicultural Teams in Hi-tech Industry, by the Late Prof. Ayala Malach-Pines and her colleague Prof. Nurit Zaidman. This article was one of the last works of Prof. Malach-Pines, Dean of the Guilford Glazer Faculty of Business and Management until her sudden passing in September, 2012.

The full tribute may be found in the Appendix of the complete article here, which ended the words: “Ayala’s main research interests were: stress and burnout; career choice; working women; entrepreneurs and managers; and recently also global multicultural teams. She promoted and practised an interdisciplinary approach in her research, often collaborating with researchers coming from diverse disciplines and methodologies. She was a pioneer in the study of burnout, and her contribution in this area is well recognized worldwide. Inspired by the existential theory, Pines and Keinan (2005) demonstrated that people report low levels of burnout, even when working in highly stressful situations, when they feel that their work is important and meaningful. In recent research, Professor Pines and colleagues tested the existential perspective on burnout of expatriates (Silbiger and Pines, 2014) and as presented in the manuscript below in bicultural teams.Sadly and unexpectedly, Professor Ayala Malach Pine passed away in September 2012.”
