Serving within the Graphic and Digital Design, Photography, and Cinema and Audiovisual sectors, she brings a unique interdisciplinary approach that bridges management science with psychosocial frameworks. Dr. El-Abbadi holds a Ph.D. in Management Sciences from Abdelmalek Essaâdi University in Tangier, where her doctoral research focused on the occupational burnout of executives within the Moroccan private sector. At the graduate level, she lends her extensive expertise to training future professionals by teaching comprehensive Master’s courses in Social Psychology, Work and Organizational Psychology, Human Resource Management (HRM), General Accounting, and Marketing, alongside both Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methodologies.
As a specialized researcher, Dr. El-Abbadi focuses on work-related stress, cognitive exhaustion, and the evolving psychosocial risks faced by workforce professionals. Her landmark mixed-methods doctoral research successfully contextualized the operational catalysts of workplace burnout—such as heavy workloads, high-stress pacing, role ambiguity, professional recognition deficits, work-life conflicts, and employee turnover intentions—specifically targeting Moroccan middle managers. A widely published scholar, her work appears in international peer-reviewed avenues including Cambridge Scholars Publishing, the European Scientific Journal, and the Revue Internationale des Sciences de Gestion. Beyond traditional academia, Dr. El-Abbadi actively translates her research into actionable public discourse and professional training; she has designed and animated advanced seminars on human behavior at the École Nationale de Commerce et de Gestion (ENCG) Tangier and acts as a vocal advocate for systemic legal reforms regarding psychosocial workplace safety in national Moroccan media.
