The NRF/DSI SARChI Chair in Creation of Decent Work and Sustainable Livelihood seeks to contribute towards inclusive prosperity. It does so through the lens of work psychology while collaborating with other disciplines. The initial five year research programme (2019 to 2023) is embedded in the broader area of seeking innovative ways in which to see work, the purpose of work, and the role of work, employers and employees within society through five broad research areas.
