What is Industrial Organizational Psychology?

[@FaithAnnCoates]

This was SO helpful in more ways then you know! Literally, your story is so similar to mine, and I needed that. From clinical undergrad, to neuro because I am such a brain geek, I love neuro, it lights me up but for some reason not professionally, I realized I didn’t want to do therapy, etc, with individuals. I didn’t know what to do for grad. Then it hit me one day, I had taken a single I/o psych class in undergrad (10 years ago) and at the time I thought, I will never do this, business is so boring I want to be clinical. Yet, a decade later, here I am a business woman who loves helping my accounts and clients with their business. I’d been wanting to go to grad school but couldn’t decide for what, and then I remembered the I/o class and I was like, Omgosh that’s it, I naturally work with my accounts and clients like this. So I began looking into it and it actually lights me up. Now I’m starting my grad in I/o and I’m psyched. Thank you so much for to story! #Subscribed ❤

Excellent break down of I/O Psychology! Thank you!

[@daniellewright6032]

Thank you for this break down. I’m currently in the process of switching careers and starting my journey into psychology, specifically I/O Psychology.

[@jessievanderriet4554]

This is my FOURTH time listening to this specific podC. LOVE it! Thank you for taking the time to make this - I'm in the process of applying for my MSc and feel that I align with so many of your views in IOP. x

[@fitri1026]

You are such a joy to listen to! Thanks for explaining this is in such a way that is easy to understand! It has helped me to decide which masters program I want to pursue, and I am more and more convinced that I/O psychology is the route to take.

[@janvimahnot]

It's so hard to find videos/podcasts related to IO Psychology. Thank you so much for this! This was very well explained and your voice is so soothing. :)

[@erinahart2580]

My mom has been trying to get me interested in this field for years and you got me really excited about it!

[@analopez4560]

Thank you so much for all the information. This podcast just confirmed even more my passion for I/O Psychology. Next year I will be applying for the PhD and I am super excited!

[@christostamouridis3258]

Loved your passion and energy Tianna! I am part of the I/O family and I was very glad to hear you talk about this!

[@meorthejob]

Thank you so much for making this available! I really enjoyed it.

[@beemorgan6295]

This was so incredibly helpful. I am an undergrad psychology student and have just heard about IO psychology and it has me PUMPED. Your video is the best out there I have seen. THANK YOU.

[@tiannatye8037]

Hi Bee, so glad you found the video helpful! You are very welcome, I'm glad it's got you PUMPED! I/O Psychology is a wonderful space to be in. Wishing you success with your career!

[@ruerue9589]

This has really helped me to make a decision on my career.. i just got accepted to study Psychological Science and was wondering how i can combine it with my HR degree.. the way you describe Org Psychology made me realise the reason why i got into HR in the first place so Org psychology here i come

[@Ninachristmas2024]

Thank you for this video, I watched a few months ago and decided to pursue a M.A. in I/O I was recently accepted to a program 😊

[@EK101_]

This was helpful! I'm in a clinical psych (PsyD) program, and I have interest in i/o psych, and I have also heard that i/o psych questions are on our EPPP licensing exam so it is a path/field i can see myself tapping into over time

[@whitb3244]

I loved this I am so excited to start listening to more of your podcast. I am an undergrad psychology major applying to a master's IO program right now. I am not 100% sure on what part of IO psych I want to do but I know I want to travel! Are there any specializations I should look into?

[@tiannatye8037]

Genuinely, I recommend looking into whatever stands out to you as you complete your studies. Pay attention to which projects you love and which you hate. I have successful colleagues across the spectrum of I/O and it boils down to choosing a specialty that energizes you. Mine happens to be remote teams and leadership!

[@TheWellnessAbbey]

I learned a lot from this video, thank you. I'm an HR Professional but am interested in learning about organisational psychology.

[@angelmorales6357]

Thank you so much for this breakdown!

[@mrs.turnquest2620]

Thank you for the insights.

[@lisafraley8380]

Just applied to grad school for IO psychology. Thanks for this.

[@yockib5419]

Fantastic content ,thank you!

[@iphoneart9]

Heyy I listened to your podcast on Spotify and was so ENLIGHTENED on this career! I think this is the right career for me. I wanted to ask what degrees you’d need to become an io psychologist. I’m more interested in being part of the research io psychology side .

[@MariaJose-ln2qi]

This video made me realize this is what I want to pursue! What are some job positions that are more on the organizational side?

[@tiannatye8037]

I love to hear that! I work more on the O side as well, my focus is remote teams + leadership. You could also look into change management, talent development, diversity, equity and inclusion, etc.

[@daniellelaird629]

Hi! I am currently a graduate student for IO Psychology. I will be done in May of 2025. What career could I go into currently in order for me to gain some experience and build my resume for when I do obtain my master’s? I currently have a BA in Psychology. Thank you in advance! Loved your video❤️ #subscribed

[@anishbanjara4539]

What is business psychology? Is it same as IO psy?

[@vipinanambiar2007]

Hello Tianna. I loved the video. Was searching a long time for this video. It helped me so much. I just wanted to know whether the companies while hiring I/O psychology graduates require us to have an MBA or another business degree. and also aren't all the job mentioned in the video already looked into by the HR? so will the companies prefer I/O graduates over HR?. Please answer this. I am confused whether i should choose I/O or clinical. And also does I/O have a lot of statistics?

[@stateofmind5365]

Okay, I hear your passion so I'll go ahead and ask.. I work in healthcare, as an executive assistant, what are your thoughts on how an I/O Psychologist would be valuable within a hospital setting? No one has answered this question for me thus far..though a bit concerned about the potential need for an advanced understanding of statistics, I'm cautiously optimistic about this degree track, and right now it's this versus Knowledge Management...Thanks in advance Tianna Tye.

[@tiannatye7128]

I/Os often consult in the pharmaceutical/healthcare sector so I’d imagine there’s opportunity in hospital systems as well. I think the key is specializing... so if you excel in change management, or leadership development, or cross functional team work... you’d take that expertise and consult! Definitely search for examples of this and uncover if it’s all external consulting or if there are internal opportunities as well

[@stateofmind5365]

@@tiannatye7128 Thanks! I can work with that.

[@fernandawolburg8347]

There's a whole are of I/O that is related to health! Also, there is plenty of research focus on the experience of healthcare workers, recovery experiences for the well-being of nurses, healthcare policy and how that impacts employees, etc. I/O psychology can be applied in almost any setting!

[@kyanzi]

@@tiannatye7128 HI, I am currently doing my master's in I/O psychology and I would like to say I/o psychology would apply to a health care setting especially with issues of diversity and inclusiveness or any other employee oppression situations in healthcare.

[@preciousmonoketsi2414]

Hi Tianna😊 thank you for breaking it down 😁So my name is Precious and I will be doing my Honours in Industrial psychology this year, I want to reach out to you and ask some questions, but I do not have Instagram is there another way that I can reach you?

[@offickdkdkkdkdkdkek]

Just a question if people with masters in psychology call themselves psychologist then what do people with phds in psychology call themselves?

[@tiannatye8037]

Such a great question! The title has a lot of ambiguity for sure and there are a ton of different perspectives on the topic! Generally speaking, the main requirement is a MA, Psy.D., Ed.D., of Ph.D. to be referred to a psychologist, but the tendency to do so depends on the type (i.e. Clinical is totally different)! I/O psych doesn't require additional licensure or accreditation post-grad so you're more likely to hear the term used! My colleagues who have Ph.D.'s refer to themselves as Dr. INSERT NAME, I/O Psychologist.

[@lisabazemore1264]

Probably Dr.....I will find out when I finish my dissertation 🤪

[@IIMMariner]

hey tianna, loved ur podcast but still want to confirm few things. Me as person wants to optimize businesses using psychology and help entrepreneurs built great businesses for the economy and for the people working in it. i am on the creative side when it comes to new ideas and always want to use research based facts to build strategies. Should i go for IO psychology or is there any other field in psychology which will help me achieve this. do comment :)

[@racheljarbo9000]

Hey gaurav! This sounds super similar to my interests too - I am thinking of applying to the io masters program at usc because of the courses offered. Did you find a good fit for what you were searching for?

[@mariyamfazma7094]

How to manage diversity in workplace?

[@tiannatye8037]

Oh, great topic! Episode 28 touches on building a diverse and inclusive team. Definitely check that one out.

Hello! What are the computer needed as an I/O psychologist?

This is, by far, the hardest subject I took. Thankfully, I still learned a lot from it. I am an HR intern at Consumerchoice and we are looking for interns! If you are interested, email us at [e-mail]
