Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology

How can we improve employee selection, training, communication and decision-making? I/O psychologists make organizations more effective while improving employee satisfaction. They typically work in human resources departments or as consultants. Current research projects include:

• Team training (Cooke)
• Network models of communication structures (Branaghan)
• Biases in social perception and personnel selection (Becker)
• Modeling complex social systems (Becker)
