The South African Journal of Industrial Psychology (SAJIP) is inviting original scientific articles, reports, position papers and reviews that will bring new knowledge on insights into and conversation around mental health research in African organisations that advance theory and practice.
Within a South African context, mental health research appears to be fragmented, yet there is an acknowledgement of its importance and the role of a sustained empirical focus on this issue. Notably, there is an absence of empirical attention on understanding mental health within the confines of the African organisation.
The proposed special issue on Mental Health Research in African Organisations: Advancing Theory & Practice, to be published in the South African Journal of Industrial Psychology, envisages three main benefits. Firstly, to bridge the chasm that exists between theory and practice concerning mental health research in African organisations. Secondly, the special issue seeks to propose ways in which individual and organisational capabilities can be harnessed to address mental health issues affecting African organisations. Finally, to ignite and create a platform for a sustained dialogue around mental health research from the lens of the African organisation.
All manuscript submissions are due by March 20, 2019. The special issue will be guest-edited by Professor Willie Tafadzwa Chinyamurindi, Associate Professor at University of Fort Hare.
Individuals may submit their manuscripts on the journal website at sajip.co.za.
