3 Subfields of I/O Psychology: 1. Personnel psychology is the selecting and evaluating of workers in the business place. They tend to focus the morale, satisfaction, and relationship between the workers and managers in the business place. To find out which person suites a position best, they test the individual with employment tests, interviews, selection, training, and human factors. 2. Organizational psychology is where worker motivation, moral satisfaction, and productivity are categorized. These are the people who design employee attitude surveys and training programs. 3. Human factor psychology assesses how machines and environments can be designed to fit human abilities and expectations. These designs they make up can reduce human frustration and accidents. Steps to design a test (Personnel Psychologists) Structured interviews 1. Checklists on specific behaviors that describe the worker 2. Graphic rating scales checks, usually on a five-point scale, on how often a worker is dependable, productive, etc 3. Behavior rating scales that describe a workers performance Flow- the involved focused state in which one loses track of self and time resulting from optimal engagement of ones skill (also known as being in the zone/ example: hitting multiple three pointers in a row in a basketball game) The two types of interviewing processes are unstructured and structured interviews. The structured interview is superior in predicting job performance for these reasons: use predesigned questions to measure KSAs, treat all applicants the same, participants are presented with work situations and are asked how they would handle them, and they reduce memory distortion and biases. Achievement motivation is the desire to receive significant accomplishments for mastering a skill or idea. An example of this could be LeBron James being the best basketball player in the league, but did not have a championship ring (until this year). Before winning the championship, he did everything in his power to receive that significant accomplishment so his skills and athleticism could be held at the highest standard for basketball. This showed how LeBrons ability and his motivation reflected his great performance for the season.

Managing Well 1. Harness strength- fitting people into jobs that use their strengths or they change the jobs to fit the person 2. Set goals- challenging reasonable goal + feedback = achievement 3. Leadership style- Task ( focuses on goals and organizing work) vs. Social Leadership (building teamwork) * All of this depends on the situation the leader is in
