Industrial-Organizational Psychologist Industrial and organizational psychology (also known as I–O psychology, occupational psychology, work psychology or IWO psychology) is the scientific study of human behavior in the workplace and organizations. Industrial and organizational psychologists contribute to an organizations success by improving the performance, satisfaction, safety, health and well-being of its employees. According to the United States Department of Labor, I-O psychology is the fastest growing occupation in the United States, based on projections between 2012 and 2022. [1][2] An I–O psychologist conducts research on employee behaviors and attitudes, and how these can be improved through hiring practices, training programs, feedback, and management systems.[3] I–O psychologists also help organizations transition among periods of change and development. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_and_organizational_psychology
