This course examines the science and practice of organizational psychology. Organizational psychology is a sub-area of the broader filed of industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology. While industrial or personal psychology (PSY 350) concentrates on topics associated with the management of human resources in organizations (i.e. employment law, criterion development, recruitment, test validation, selection, performance management, training, human resource planning), organizational psychology examines individual and group behavior in formal organizations (i.e., socialization, motivation, job attitudes, occupational stress, leadership, group performance, organizational culture).

This course will introduce the student to the basic theory and practice of Organization Development (OD). OD, a subfield of Industrial/Organizational Psychology, can be defined as a system-wide application of behavioral knowledge and practice to the planned development and reinforcement of organizational strategies, structures, and processes for improving an organization's effectiveness (Cummings and Worley, 2001). The course will focus on six major OD processes and interventions: (1) the process of how OD is applied to organizations; (2) human process interventions aimed at the social processes occurring within organizations; (3) technostructural interventions aimed at organization structure and at better integrating people and technology; (4) human resource management interventions that are directed at integrating people into the organization; (5) strategic interventions that focus on organizing the firm's resources to gain a competitive advantage in the environment; and (6) evaluating OD interventions and stabilizing them as a permanent part of the organizational functioning.
