Course Description
Psy 462-Industrial/Organizational Psychology is a survey of the ways
that psychological theory and research have been applied to understand
and enhance the effectiveness of people at work. Much of the research,
and many of the examples to which you will be exposed deal with private
sector (business) organizations. However, the principles of I/O
Psychology can be applied to any organization. I/O Psychologists draw
from many areas of psychology (e.g., Psychometrics, Social Psychology,
Personality Psychology) and add to these areas in their work on
organizational effectiveness. In Psy 462 we will learn about people at
work, organizational effectiveness, and we will explore some basic
psychological principles.
Information regarding Course Requirements,
Grading, and the Course Schedule is available on the course
Moodle site.
