This site contains both information and links that can be useful to the I/O psychology student (or students in related courses such as organizational behavior). From the home page you can see that this site contains information relevant to all the courses I teach, as well as my own research. This portion is designed to provide assistance and information to my own, as well as other students who use my I/O text. However, some of the material in other parts might also be of interest, e.g., my job satisfaction scale can be used by students for projects, but be sure to get a faculty member or other professional to supervise you if you do not have expertise in conducting such studies.

If you are one of my INP4004 students, I have a separate section for you, that can be accessed from the page for this class.

Each fall I teach an undergraduate I/O psychology course. I use overheads exclusively (no more blackboard), which serve as an outline of my lectures. I don't always use all the contents of each chapter notes, as sometimes we improvise, and there's material here that is not in the book. These notes follow the textbook for the most part, and I update them each time I do the class. At the bottom of each chapter file is the date of the most recent modification. Many of my students print the chapter notes and bring them to class.

If your instructor sent you here to get copies of my notes, you are in the right place. If your instructor did not, be careful because your course might be very different from what is here.

There are internet exercises here, most of which are linked to specific chapters. All ask students to go to a particular site and find some information. The exercises here ask them to answer specific questions or write a report, which is how I use them. If your instructor assigned these exercises, be sure he or she wants you to use them as they are written. If they are not assigned, you might find some of them to be interesting, and each provides additional information about topics in the textbook.

You will find links to the organizations of all the case I/O psychologists. In most instances it is the setting for the case itself, although in a few instances it is not, as the confidentiality of the company is being protected. These links can be used to give you more background about each case person and their organizations. For example, if you are curious about the consulting firms some of our case people work for, these links will allow you to find out more about them.

I've compiled a list of internet sites relevant to our field. There is a brief description of each one, and they are organized into categories.

1. Associations: Links to the major associations in the U.S., and a few international ones as well. Included are Academy of Management (AOM), American Psychological Association (APA), American Psychological Society (APS), and Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP). Each is a tremendous resource. The international sites can give some insights into our field outside of the U.S.

2. I/O Related Information: These sites contain information that is relevant to I/O, such as the Gallup Organization that does occasional surveys of work attitudes, and O*NET that contains a storehouse of job analytic and other information about jobs in the U.S. economy.

3. Journal Links: There are links here to all the major and many minor I/O psychology, and related journals.

4. I/O Consulting Firms: Links to both large and small I/O and related consulting firms are here, including DDI and PDI.

5. Research Methods: These sites are devoted to research methodology.

Each chapter has a short answer format, practice exam. One page has the questions, and a link at the bottom goes to the answers. You can use this to quiz yourself after you've read each chapter. Alternately, you can wait until reading all the chapters for an exam, and use this as a practice test.

This section contains several documents that cover the nature of an I/O job and how to pursue an I/O career. It can be accessed from the Student page (back one page) or from my home page. One document discusses what an I/O job is like, both academic and applied. Another explains the graduate school application process and offers advice about getting accepted. There are links to the SIOP document showing entry requirements of various programs, and their gateway to the websites of graduate programs. There's also a link to ETS for information about the GRE. There's another document that discusses the nature of doctoral training. Finally, there's an I/O FAQ.
