Organizational Psychology
According to Steven M. Jex and Thomas W. Britt (2008), ?organizational psychology is a field that utilizes scientific methodology to better understand the behavior of individuals working in organizational settings? (Introduction of Organizational Psychology, p. 1, para. 2). An organization is a unit of people, systematically structured and managed to meet a need or to pursue collective goals on a continuing basis (Business Dictionary.com, 2011). Psychology is the study of mind and behavior of individuals. It is important for organizational psychology to study formal organizations, but informal organizations need to be studied as well such as friendships and groups. When some human behavior is patterned it is thought to be structured which implies that this is the essence of an organization. ?Organizational psychologists use a systematic, data-based approach to studying organizational processes and solving organizational problems? (Jex & Britt, 2008). In order to be a successful organization, enhanced organizational effectiveness needs to be achieved and this can be done through organizational psychology.
The total count is 700 words so I only need about 500 words with what I have so far.
