Industrial/Organizational Psychology
Industrial and Organizational (I/O) Psychology is a scientific field in which psychological principles are applied to the workplace. At the University of Western Ontario, we train students according to the tenets of the scientist-practitioner model. Our goal is to provide world-class training in the development and advancement of scientific principles and their resulting practical applications for organizational success and individual well-being.
The I/O Psychology area at the University of Western Ontario is led by a faculty of leading researchers in broad areas including, leadership, work motivation, workplace attitudes, group dynamics and teamwork. Our program is renowned for its strong focus on, and record of excellence in, research, but we also support opportunities for exposure to the practice of I/O Psychology. Our program encourages research collaborations among students and faculty, and these often result in publications in top-tier journals. We also facilitate opportunities for applied experience through internships of various kinds. Our goal is to provide graduate students with the education they need to succeed in the challenging yet highly rewarding field of I/O psychology.
