Industrial and organizational psychology

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Industrial and organizational psychology is "the branch of applied psychology concerned with the application of psychologic principles and methods to industrial problems including selection and training of workers, working conditions, etc."[1]

Organizational culture and climate

Organizational culture is "beliefs and values shared by all members of the organization. These shared values, which are subject to change, are reflected in the day to day management of the organization.". [2]

Organizational states

Flourishing

Flourishing involves a positive state of psychological or social well-being and positive functioning (not necessarily learning).[3]

Important contributors to flourishing are giving to others (due to impact on meaningfulness) and personal growth (due to impact on life satisfaction).[4]

Thriving

Thriving has two components according to factor analysis[5]:

  • Vitality
  • Sense of learning or improvement

Thriving is negatively correlated with burnout.[6][7]

Empowerment

Empowerment has four dimensions according to factor analysis[8]:

  • Meaningfulness or purpose
  • Competence or efficacy
  • Self-determination
  • Impact

Engagement

Empowerment has three dimensions according to factor analysis[5]:

  • Vigor (physical engagement)
  • Dedication (effective engagement)
  • Absorption (cognitive engagement)

Burnout

Main article: Burnout (psychology)

Interventions to promote positive organizational psychology

Available studies have been reviewed.[9] Studies using appreciative inquiry have been done.[10][11]

Public reporting has been used to try to improve organizational culture.[12][13] Recommendations for how to report have been proposed.[14][15]

Leadership

Organizational decision making

Organizational decision making is "the process by which decisions are made in an institution or other organization". [16]

Decision making by voting, compared to consensus building, leads to "highest satisfaction with the group decision-making process, and the lowest amount of expressed negative socio-emotional behaviors"; however, consensus leads to higher "feelings of personal participation".[17]

After voting on organizational procedures, postdecisional voice by the minority group can reduce negative impact on perceptions of fairness and task commitment by employees in the voting minority. [18]

Delphi technique

A Delphi technique may be more effective.[19][20]

The Delphi technique involves[21]:

  1. Identifying a research problem
  2. Completing a literature search
  3. Developing a questionnaire of statements
  4. Conducting anonymous iterative mail or e-mail questionnaire rounds
  5. Providing individual and/or group feedback between rounds
  6. Summarizing the findings

A modified Delphi had been developed by the RAND Corporation.[22][23]

The technique can vary regarding anonymity of participants and the number of iterations or rounds.

The Delphi Technique can be conducted online either asynchronously via email[24] or synchronously using a software such as ExpertLens.[25][26]
