Biography
Ian Rothmann is currently working as Director (Industrial Psychology) in North-West University, South Africa.
Research Interest
My interest has always been in the assessment and development of employed and unemployed people’s potential, specifically within multicultural and cross-cultural contexts. After completing my PhD, my initial research focus was burnout, stress, and coping within multicultural contexts. With the changing intellectual climate in Psychology after 2000 (towards Positive Psychology) my research focus broadened to include work engagement and flourishing of people in work and organisational contexts as well as in non-work contexts. People who flourish are satisfied with their jobs (or lives), experience more positive than negative emotions, are energetic, learning and dedicated, experience satisfaction of their autonomy, competence and relatedness needs, find meaning and purpose in their work, experience harmony and relate positively. I research the flourishing of people in work and non-work contexts, the antecedents and outcomes thereof, and intervention programmes that could contribute to flourishing of individuals and organisations.
