Dr Zoe Port BBS (Hons), PhD, AFHEA

Lecturer

Doctoral Co-Supervisor
School of Management

Having previously held a number of roles in the field of human resources, I chose to return to postgraduate study with a particular goal of conducting research that would contribute to making New Zealand workplaces safer. I was fortunate to be welcomed into the Healthy Work Group in Massey's School of Management. In 2021 I completed my PhD, exploring the heterogeneity and experiences of those who hold multiple jobs in New Zealand.

I am currently a Lecturer in the School of Management, Co-Director of research team the Healthy Work Group and am also a named investigator on the externally-funded  which seeks to develop, implement and test interventions to reduce exposure to work-related psychosocial hazards in small and medium-sized organisations. 

Prior to this, I taught at Massey since 2017 as an Assistant Lecturer during my PhD and then between 2020-2022 I held a leadership role as the the Co-Director for the Bachelor of Business (BBus) - Massey's largest degree programme and flagship business qualification. In this role I had the privilege of overseeing the BBus, ensuring a thriving qualification and high quality student experience and leading the BBus Programme Review. 

I have been involved in a number of other research and consulting projects and with my Healthy Work Group colleagues, primarily focusing on the are aof psychosocial risk. I have presented much of this research overseas, including at the International Labout Organisation (ILO) headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

Given my strong research and personal interest in employment relations, I strive to remain constantly engaged with the union movement. At present I have the privilege of serving young workers as both a Co-convenor of Stand Up - the youth network of the Council of Trade Unions - as well as the youth representative on the Tertiary Education Union (TEU) council (the governing body of the TEU). I am passionate about advocating for young workers who, far too often, are marginalised and subject to disadvantage in the workplace - particularly being in precarious employment that limits their ability to speak up.

I am a Lecturer in the School of Management, Co-Director of research team the Healthy Work Group and am also a named investigator on the externally-funded which seeks to develop, implement and test interventions to reduce exposure to work-related psychosocial hazards in small and medium-sized organisations. In 2021 I completed my PhD, which focused on exploring the heterogeneity and experiences of those who hold multiple jobs.

Teaching and Supervision

Teaching Statement

As an educator, I aim to foster a supportive, relationship-based classroom environment that treats students as partners in the learning journey. I believe that above all else, I must allow all students to feel that my classroom (whether face to face, or virtual) is a safe environment to ask questions, respectfully challenge beliefs and express new ideas.

I strive to be innovative in my teaching, having developed a reputation for use of digital platforms and other strategies for engaging students that has driven colleagues to seek my guidance in this regard. 

The student experience is incredibly important to me, and I take student feedback very seriously. Following positive student feedback about my passion for my subject matter, care towards students and adaption to online teaching, I had  the honour of winning the overall  from the Albany Students’ Association - as the youngest recipient of this award. Previously, I won the Albany Students' Association "Advocacy Accolade" after my first year of teaching in 2017, and have been nominated for Lecturer of the Year in every year that I have taught.
