Women, Work and Poverty: Reflections on Research for Social Change

In: Humanitarian Work Psychology

Abstract

Issues of women, work and poverty have received scant attention within organizational psychology. Given psychology’s mission of promoting the human welfare, social issues such as women, work and poverty seem well within the purview of the field (Carr et al., this volume). Humanitarian work psychology, with its prosocial focus, promises to open the doors to such research endeavours. As an emerging field, it can draw on existing organizational psychological knowledge and research approaches for its investigations. However, given the paucity of research on women, work and poverty in organizational psychology, humanitarian work psychology may well need to expand its repertoire and develop research foci more appropriate to its objectives.
