The average American will spend over 93,000 hours performing work-related activities by the time they reach the age of 65 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2012). Over the course of an average lifetime, that amounts to nearly 30% of our entire adult lives and 40% of our waking hours spent at work! Clearly, work holds an important role in the daily lives of people everywhere and represents a unique domain of psychological experience. PSYC 361: Survey of Industrial/Organizational Psychology introduces students to a variety of topics, concepts, and principles relevant to improving people's lives at work from the time they enter the labor force through retirement as well as the organizations in which they work. The course focuses on understanding the psychological bases of work behaviors, cognition, and emotions, and practices that can be implemented to create a good fit between employees and work demands. Example course topics include how I/O psychologists define the key structure/characteristics of jobs, the techniques they use for assessing and supporting employee performance, how they inform the selection and training of employees using psychological research, and how they apply psychological science to make sense of employee's motivation and attitudes.
