Assignment 3: Psychology in Organizations

The field of industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology is relatively new in the eyes of many organizations. As representatives of the field of industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology, we frequently find ourselves educating our audiences on how industrial/organizational (I/O) influences the workplace.

Scenario

As a representative of the industrial/organizational (I/O) profession, you have been asked to make a presentation at the next local chapter meeting of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). The meeting planning committee believes that the audience of human resources (HR) and business professionals is interested in how psychology can be directly applied to the workplace.
