Industrial and organizational psychologists contribute to the
success of an organization by improving the performance,
satisfaction, and well-being of employees. By identifying how
behaviors and attitudes can be improved through hiring practices,
training programs, and feedback and management systems, I/O
psychologists also help organizations transition during periods of
change and development. Organizational Psychology: A
Scientist-Practitioner Approach, Third Edition is a
comprehensive guide to the theory and application of behavioral
science in the workplace.
