DQ 1

  

Through your reading this week, you have become more familiar with I/O psychology. This familiarity guides us in developing our understanding of how this area of study can be applied to many areas and careers, whether in the “helping” professions or in business, education, and communications.

For this discussion, first      create a timeline of your plans/goals for the next ten years. Next, discuss you career goals for the future and how the factors associated with I/O psychology could be      applicable to help you succeed and grow as an individual based on these   goals. Next, if the word organization is defined as a      structured body of people with a common purpose, what unique opportunities      might the field of I/O psychology present for you personally based on two      of your listed goals? (Consider your family or other outside organizations      with which you are involved.) Considering both your personal      and professional goals, and after reviewing the content, are there any      areas of I/O psychology that you believe will be more applicable to you      than another? Why or why not? How might these areas be helpful to      employees and managers? Include evidence from major theories of business      psychology to support your answer.
