About the Course

Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology is the application of the scientific study of human behavior and thinking to work organizations. I-O Psychology is both an academic discipline and a professional discipline; thus, in this class we focus on both research and the application of research findings to practical problems in the workplace. I-O Psychologists are concerned with the recruitment, selection, training, motivation, and job performance of individuals at work. They are also involved in issues such as teamwork, leadership, and job attitudes. This class provides a general overview of research and practical application in I-O Psychology. This course provides students with essential knowledge and skills for career success by offering practical insights into key workplace areas, such as performance management, job analysis, leadership, teamwork, motivation, and stress management. Students will be better equipped to understand or support human resource initiatives, improve organizational processes, and contribute to healthy, productive work environments by understanding how to evaluate and enhance employee performance, foster diversity and inclusion, and promote well-being. Additionally, mastering research methods and data analysis will empower students to make evidence-based decisions, a critical competency for the current workforce....

This is a very informative Intro to Industrial Psychology. Having earned a Master Degree in Psychology, I felt right at home exploring a adjacent avenue to my degree. I will say that there are some slides that you will want a basic knowledge in statistics as she discusses standard deviations using some common variables to explain why some theories have more merit than others. She does not go over what the variables mean in terms of statistics however, she does a good job at explaining what the results indicate within the larger context. This course is a lot of information in a short time frame but she is to the point without a lot of fluff witch is exactly what I needed when looking to expand my knowledge base.

Super interesting course! Despite the title, it covers both industrial and organizational psych pretty equally. Lots of theory and studies (as expected of any college-level psych course), but the concepts and connections to the modern-day workplace (AI, diversity, the law, etc.) are really fascinating. The professor leans more on the concise side and doesn't waste time on irrelevant info. Tons of supplemental resources (e.g. readings) are provided on top of the lecture content. Highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning about workplace science!
