Describe some of the major activities and tasks an industrial/organizational
psychologist performs.
Individuals in the industrialized world will come in contact with organizations every
day. The supermarket is an organization so is a department store. Running an
organization or enterprise can be quite difficult especially when you are hiring
different types of individuals. You are trying to get a variety of personalities to mesh
well together to benefit the organization. Industrial/organizational psychologist can
be helpful in helping organizations with their employee-related problems. Many
times organizations will hire the psychologists to help them work through the
problems within the organization. Some examples of how I/O psychologists have
helped are as follows; they have helped General Electric develop a system that helps
them give employees their job performance feedback and they have helped the United
States Army administer psychologist tests so that the recruits can be placed in the
most appropriate jobs. If your company is part of a large organization most likely the
organization will have an I/O psychologist. In fact, the I/O psychologist can assist
employers in developing the application, training, salary, and benefit package. They
can also assist in employee health issues, motivation, and safety. They are definitely
well rounded individuals that help the different organizations to succeed and thrive.
I wish that the organization that I work for would employee an I/O
psychologist. Issues have definitely arisen between individuals that could have easily
been handled by an I/O psychologist.
