Industrial-Organizational Psychologist Methods of Operation

The ways in which an industrial-organizational psychologist may help an organization vary. From job analysis to recruiting, performance evaluation, and goal-setting, these professionals are indispensable the larger an organization becomes. Employee personalities play a huge role in the success of a business, and the I/O psychologist gives a manager the tools needed to enact proper changes to the working environment.

With an industrial-organizational psychology degree, one can expect to assimilate their knowledge and skills to the nature and environment of the business. It doesn't matter which industry the company is in, it can benefit from the knowledge and expertise of an I/O psychology professional, but only if the professional takes the time to apply his training to the personality types and the nature of the work performed. Specialization is important.

Careers in Industrial-Organizational Psychology

Careers in I/O psychology may include help in human resources or private consulting. Since companies are not forced to pay ongoing benefits, many are more willing to hire on a consultation basis. While this may not give one the security of a full-time position, the pay one receives can be considerably more substantial, and companies are more inclined to keep one on as retainer, since turnover is a reality of every business, small or large.

The entrepreneurially minded I/O professional can write his own ticket because it costs companies so much money to lose an employee. Retention is what every business is shooting for, and as someone trained in the art of employee mindsets and culture, an I/O professional can give the company just what it is asking for.

Industrial-Organizational Psychology Education and Training

Many schools across the country have degree specializations for this particular career path. A Doctor of Philosophy or Psychology distinction is generally awarded to the industrial-organizational psychology degree student.

Most employers will want a Ph.D before they agree to do business with an I/O professional, because they want to make sure they're dealing with an expert in the field. Some states may require additional licensing exams in addition to a doctorate degree. One should check the professional licensing requirements in their area before marketing their services.
