ABSTRACT

The practice of psychology in Ghana is growing and this growth has further been facilitated by the strengthening of the Ghana Psychological Association and the passing of the Health Professions Regulatory Bodies Act, 2013 (Act 857). The practice of industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology has also benefited from the general growth in the practice of psychology in Ghana. In this paper, I provide an update on the training and practice of I-O psychology since the last major publication about the field in Ghana (see Oppong, 2013a). Some of the major developments since the last publication include the achievement of autochthonization through the production of home-grown doctoral-level I-O psychologists and the fact that I-O psychology research seems to be moving away from a focus on professionals (salaried workers) in the formal economy in high-income jobs to non-salaried workers in the informal economy. Prospects for the future are discussed in line with the recent developments in the business environment in Ghana and Africa, especially the establishment of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. The lessons learned from the training and practice of I-O psychology in Ghana may have implications for the growth and practice of the discipline in other nonWestern societies and worldwide.
