After many years, I am just now at the point of researching grad programs. I know what lit my fire, but not sure if the particular program I originally saw is still the one I wish to pursue. I would appreciate recommendations for grad programs of merit for both OB and Org Psych.
Thanks for any input.

I am observing that IOP programs tend to be aligned to Departments of Psychology while OB are more aligned to Departments of Business?

Anyone would comment about where the top research is going on in each of the fields?

It is one of the best articles that I read from this blog.Those employees who think so negative about their career and job selection must read this article to get inspiration and positiveness.By the way,it is true that self-exploration is a long journey for anyone who desire to explore himself.

All "don't do" are bad for the IO psychologists but I believe 'hypnosis' and 'brainwash employees' are the worst workouts that they never do in their whole life as practitioners.Both have more negative impact on business life of any employee.

This article is good to get overview of both business phenomenons.OBM is simpler to understand and to execute in the business model than the IOP.I think both are effective as per the marketing perspective and the business scenario.

2009-08-25T21:24:19.761-04:00

Ah, the details. A few companies have implemented ROWE, but that's not the best solution for every company or all industries. But that doesn't make those companies/industries undeserving of engagement, they just need to work to figure out a solution, piece-by-piece that -- as Paul mentions, requires A LOT of change -- and can be (much) more effective than processes in place now.

2009-08-25T19:33:23.386-04:00

Not only untested but too general, The devil is in the details. As a fan of Dan Pink I'd love to see specific scenarios, company rules of engagement, and methods or specific behaviors that enable a company to provide those positive-sounding job opportunities. How to test? Worth trying yet requiring considerable more specificity

Good points. I'd say the issue is more "...

2009-08-24T20:41:11.521-04:00

Good points.

I'd say the issue is more "untested" rather than "untestable" though -- it becomes a let's watch other companies do this first and then copy their methodology ("best practices").

Change is difficult and risky. So it is much easier to either do what we have been doing -- until something comes up and we MUST change.

I am thinking the key to bridging the gap between ANY mismatch science and practice is to make it easy, step-by-step, implementable in small chunks, and foolproof.

I would suggest that the problem with applying wha...

2009-08-24T16:05:23.449-04:00

I would suggest that the problem with applying what Pink believes is twofold - one - it is somewhat "untestable" in the field and two - it takes longer and requires more "management" change.

As a business leader I can - rework all my managers and the way they approach their work (training, compensation, incentives, rewards, etc.) - wait and see if it works two -three years down the pike - OR...

I can run a group travel program and give everyone who hits goal a trip to Bermuda.

I hope, through your work, my work and many others, we can create a body of knowledge that supports giving employees control and accountability as away of driving performance.

Thanks for a great post.

2009-08-20T18:56:37.901-04:00

I have always thought of the difference between the two as blurred but you can see one major difference between the two textbooks (which I have taught both OB and IO) and it is the lack of empirical research in the OB textbook. OB just does not focus on empirical research and statistics like IO does but like you mentioned they do have the high fidelity case studies!

2009-06-26T09:15:46.719-04:00

And that is true not only for companies but people as well. As we gain more experience we gain more confidence. While that is generally good, it does have its downsides, including neglecting to pay attention to others' needs. Thanks for your comment Matt!

2009-06-26T07:16:05.079-04:00

Great stuff Eva - and you're right, these seems so completely obvious but companies miss the mark all the time, losing track of their vision, refusing to take and embrace constructive criticism, non-acceptence of new business trends and technologies. These are all things that happen far too often that lead to corporate failure. In the end, it's about continuing to evolve as time goes by. Those businesses and entreprenuers who adapt to their environments ultimately achieve the highest level of success.

Not surprising. "Social loafing," as I learned in my social psychology days, is bound to occur in any team. Ask people to give 100% in a team setting, and even if they think they have, you'll find that when measured, their performance on an equal task done individually will be greater.

Good points Richard and thanks for the clarification.

The Buckley (2000) source is actually just a comparison of JOBM and JAP... and the table comes from Geller (2002). I just reviewed both articles here.

I also agree that they're all pretty much the same - especially in practice.

I don't think it's fair to say that the difference...

2009-04-27T14:11:00.000-04:00

I don't think it's fair to say that the differences between JOBM and JAP necessarily reflect differences between OB and I/O. For example, I would call both JAP and Personnel Psychology top-tier I/O journals, but P-Psych is going to have much more information with a potentially practical use than JAP probably will.

So - "If you want to explore reasons behind behavior at work, go read Journal of Applied Psychology." - I agree. But that doesn't mean that characterizes I/O as a whole. I would say that I/O, HRM, and OB are all vaguely the same thing - the differences are really only in training and immediate purpose. The content is essentially the same.
