| Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology is the study of how people think, feel and behave at work. More specifically, I-O psychologists are interested in such topics as: recruitment and selection systems, motivation, employee development, teams, performance management and reward systems, fair workplace practices, leadership, and employee well-being. The I-O Psychology field at the University of Guelph was developed based on the graduate training recommendations of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) and the Canadian equivalent (CSIOP). The field is unique in Canada because of our balanced approach to graduate education - we highly value both the research and practice in our field and recognize their interrelated role in the profession. |
