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, 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.
The industrial psychology provide a foundation for understanding the human elements of the workplace. They can provide with the competitive edge they will need when they enter the job market and as they move along their career ladders.
Descriptions of these follow:
Social/Organizational Skills
