Introduction
I-O psychology applies psychology to businesses and organizations. As such, it blends the academic discipline of business with the academic study of psychology.
The organizational psychology side of I-O psychology focuses on human behavior in the workplace. Employees at all levels, from the organizational leaders to the entry-level workers, bring internal psychological factors to work with them each day. These factors include motivations, attitudes, emotions, and stress. Organizational psychologists seek to enhance the well-being of employees, leaders, and teams as well as the overall organization.
To learn more about internal psychological factors in the workplace, this first assessment will focus on several components of stress. You’ll consider dynamics of stress in the workplace alongside reviewing research on the topic. While you work on this assessment, consider how improving stressful conditions can benefit both the individual employee and the organization as a whole.
