Teaching

I'm Academic Director of Strathclyde's MSc Occupational Psychology - the only such Masters in Scotland accredited by the British Psychological Society as a training route to chartership in occupational psychology - and the MSc Work and Organisational Psychology, both established in 2022.

My areas of teaching expertise cover work psychology, organisational behaviour and HRM generally, but with specialisms in recruitment, assessment and selection, employee wellbeing and stress, research methodology and statistics.

Research Interests

My research activity has focused on:

HRM, work design and employee wellbeing, including the psychological effects of new technology, shiftwork, different types of work (e.g. microworkers, call centres, software, police), and the impact of HRM practices on employee outcomes (e.g., skill, attitudes). For recent work see:

University-to-work transitions: the role of career self-management in graduate employability and employment success

Okay-Somerville, Belgin (Principal Investigator) Scholarios, Dora (Co-investigator)

This is a two-year, longitudinal research project funded by a British Academy Small Grant which will examine the associations between career self-management, employability and employment success during university-to-work transitions. Waves I and II measure career self-management, intentions and job search strategies during the last year of university and immediately upon graduation, respectively; and Wave III examines employment quality (e.g., skill use), attitudes and well-being six months after graduation. The research will contribute to a more detailed understanding of graduate employability and employment success at a time of increasing uncertainty, and have implications for policymakers, employers, universities and graduates.
