Hi Deepti,
Please share your view on Industrial Psychology. I am in the HR field for the past 1 and a half years now. I wanted to know how a study in Industrial Psychology would help me grow in the Human Resource field. Will a long-distance study in the same field add value?
Thank you.

Hi,
Industrial psychology will be very helpful for you and will also add more value to you. For every HR, psychology study is very important. Almost every HR can understand the psychology of employees in common. If you want to work in any manufacturing industry or any large production-oriented firm at the entry level, they will definitely ask for a psychology subject or law subject. If you have interest, you can learn.

What Can Industrial Psychology Do For HR?
There are a number of ways you can use psychology to improve your work performance, to build the job-related skills that will help your career, and to give you a competitive edge.
Many people think of psychology as a set of theories and skills to be used by counselors and therapists who deal with mental problems. Abnormal behavior and mental disorders are, in fact, major concerns for some people who have studied psychology. But there are many applications of psychological findings outside of counseling. One of the oldest specialties in applied psychology has nothing to do with therapy and abnormality. This specialty is the psychology of work behavior.
Consider how a class or two in industrial psychology could be useful to you. After graduation, you will very likely devote more time and energy to work and your career than you will to most other aspects of your life. During the coming years you will spend in the workplace, you will encounter psychological issues of all kinds. For example, as you move into positions of greater responsibility, you will be expected to know:
- How to assess people for promotion,
- How to determine training needs, and
- How to make decisions affecting the success of your organization.
In a world where conflict and miscommunication are common, you will need to develop skills as a sensitive yet effective manager.
One way to begin to prepare yourself for these responsibilities is through courses in industrial psychology. Industrial psychology provides a foundation for understanding the human elements of the workplace. It can give you the competitive edge you will need when you enter the job market and as you move along your career ladders.
Descriptions of these follow:
Social/Organizational Skills
- Address job attitudes, the motivation to work, leadership style, and a variety of other topics of a social nature.
Industrial/Organizational Psychology
- Addresses a comprehensive survey of psychology applied to the workplace. Includes all the major topics: job analysis, employee selection, performance appraisal, industrial training, job satisfaction, leadership, and work conditions.
Human Factors and Environmental Design
- Addresses ergonomics or human engineering. Human characteristics and capacities are considered as we analyze the design of things people use and the environments in which they use them. Topics include: information processing, applied anthropometry, workspace arrangement, illumination, noise effects, and product safety.
So industrial psychology plays a significant part in HR development.

Dear Deepthi,
I have heard that TISS Mumbai offers an Industrial Psychology course. I'm not sure. Yeah, I would also love to do a course in Industrial Psychology. If you ever come across one, please do let me know. Madras University conducts an Applied Psychology course. I will tell you if I know any more institutes. I assume you are looking for institutes in India, right?

Hi,
The best institute in India to provide study in industrial psychology is Delhi University, a central university. They offer it as a Master's in Psychology with specialization in Organizational Behavior. Other universities include Jamia Millia Islamia. They both have an entrance exam followed by an interview for admission, with the forms typically available around June, and both are regular courses.
For a distance learning course, one can opt for Annamalai University, which is the second-best university in distance education after IGNOU.

But is it effective to study this course (Diploma) abroad like in the US? So that after a year, you can work there for 2 years, gain experience, and work in India. How many think that's effective? The reason is that in India, it's just a course, and we won't be able to work as a junior under some senior. So, what is the best option: studying abroad or in India? Please let me know.

Hey Deepthi,
Have you decided on a university to pursue the IS course? I am interested in taking up the IS course, but can't decide between distance learning or full-time. If you have enrolled anywhere, please let me know how it is. Maybe that information would help me decide whether to opt for distance learning or full-time.
