Industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology is the scientific study of human behavior in the workplace, applying psychological principles to issues like employee selection, training, motivation, leadership, and organizational development. I-O psychologists work in HR departments, consulting firms, and research institutions to design assessments, improve workplace performance, and enhance employee well-being. The field splits broadly into industrial (efficiency-focused) and organizational (people-focused) concerns.
