Malinen is Finnish, and emigrated to New Zealand in 1996. 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. Malinen then joined the faculty of the School of Business at University of Canterbury, rising to full professor in 2024. She works as part of the Workplace Analytics group with Professor Katharina Näswall. In 2013 Malinen was awarded the University of Canterbury School of Business and Economics Early Career Research award.
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. 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'. 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. 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.
Malinen is married to an ecologist, and has two children.
