PSY142

This course is designed to provide an overview of industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology. I/O psychology is a subfield of psychology concerned with various aspects of people in the workplace, including employee productivity and well-being. The "industrial" part deals with personnel functions, such as analyzing jobs, appraising employee performance, selecting, placing, and training employees. The "organizational" part is concerned with the social and psychological aspects of work, including employee attitudes, behavior, emotions, health, motivation, leadership, and group dynamics. Both real-world applications and research will be emphasized throughout the course.
