Industrial and Organizational Psychology (also known as industrial-organizational psychology, I-O psychology, work psychology, organizational psychology, work and organizational psychology, occupational psychology, personnel psychology or talent assessment) applies psychology to organizations and the workplace. (In late 2009, the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology plans a two-stage vote to either retain its name or to change it to the Society for Organizational Psychology (TSOP), the Society for Work Psychology (SWP), or the Society for Work and Organizational Psychology (SWOP) to eliminate the word "Industrial." Any such change might cause many American researchers, practitioners and educational programs in I-O psychology to change over to the new name to describe their field.) "Industrial-organizational psychologists contribute to an organization's success by improving the performance and well-being of its people. An I-O psychologist researches and identifies how behaviors and attitudes can be improved through hiring practices, training programs, and feedback systems."
