Industrial and organizational psychology (abbreviated as I/O psych) relates to the psychology of work. It intersects with related disciplines of psychology such as motivation and social psychology. This speciality aims to investigate the actions, behavior, and attitudes of humans in the workforce - usually addressing work-related issues, such as recruitment, satisfaction in work life, work structure, and the overall well-being of workers in an organization. An I/O psychologist would apply their knowledge in psychology to assisting and aiding human and organizational issues in the workforce. For example, an I/O psychologist may assist in recruiting the best candidate for a job position, investigate factors into poor work-life quality, and/or developing rubrics for assessing employee performances.
