Malinen is Finnish, and emigrated to New Zealand in 1996.[1] Malinen completed a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Otago, followed by a Master of Science in psychology and a PhD at the University of Canterbury. Her doctoral thesis was titled Implicit and explicit attitudes towards older workers: Their predictive utility and the role of attitude malleability and was completed in 2009.[2] Malinen then joined the faculty of the School of Business at University of Canterbury, rising to full professor in 2024.[3] She works as part of the Workplace Analytics group with Professor Katharina Näswall.[1] In 2013 Malinen was awarded the University of Canterbury School of Business and Economics Early Career Research award.[4]
Malinen is an organisational and applied psychologist, and her research covers topics such as leadership development, and how to build resilience in workplaces and communities.[1] She has researched what factors in team meetings enable better decision-making, and the concept of 'paradoxical leadership' in public organisations, defined as 'the ability to balance competing structural and relational demands over time'.[5][6][7] Malinen is also interested in environmental psychology, including the use of values in environmental management and the connection between nature and wellbeing, and disaster management within organisations and communities.[1][7] Malinen has collaborated on research on cultural and ecological resilience with Professor Jacinta Ruru of the University of Otago and Dr Phil Lyver of Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research as part of the Biological Heritage National Science Challenge.[8]
Malinen is married to an ecologist, and has two children.[1]
