Dr McDonald Matika

Qualifications: BSc Hon Psychology, Diploma in Industrial Relations, MSc in Occupational, Psychology, DPhil Industrial and Organisational Psychology, (UZ)

Bio: My journey into academia has its genesis in higher education administration. I find sharing knowledge more fulfilling. As a registered industrial psychology lecturer and researcher, my research is heavily involved with mental health at work and crosscultural psychology. I have also successfully carried out assessment centers for major organizations in the private and public sector in Zimbabwe. I continue to adapt and adopt the popular psychological assessments and unpack their psychometric properties in local settings. I am a keen work psychologist and am swayed by a positive view of human beings. We should ask what is good about us rather than what is wrong with humankind. I am also currently very involved in student mentorship through providing career counselling for undergraduate students as career choice is very much personality based.

Research interests: Mental Health, Work stress, Personality, Validation of Psychological Instruments.
