Proficiency Award 1 in Organisational Psychology VPS020

Organisational psychology is concerned with optimising work conditions to improve employee satisfaction and productivity. Those with an understanding of this area may assess individual factors such as employee motivation and morale, leadership qualities, physical and mental health of employees, and factors associated with group work. They may also review the physical aspects of a workplace such as improving ergonomics, sensory stimulation, optimising light, and reducing noise. In larger organisations personnel officers may use aptitude tests in order to match the right person to the right role.  

 

Organisational psychology calls on a range of different psychological theories from different areas of psychology to understand and explain people in work situations, including - developmental, educational, personality theories and social psychology.

 

An organisational psychologist is involved in:

  • Selection, supervision and training of personnel

  • Managing and organising employees

  • Motivating and improving morale

  • Developing tests for personnel selection

  • Studying and providing training for management communication and effectiveness

  • Relating all of the above to increasing production and efficiency
