Industrial-organizational (I/O) psychology is one of psychology’s fastest-growing specialties: the scientific study of how human beings shape the business world, and how businesses shape human beings, the groups to which they belong, and the communities in which they live. I/O professionals apply that expertise to working with individuals, groups, organizations, communities, and systems to promote both human and organizational health.
