The Division of Industrial/Organizational Psychology is a non-profit consulting organization that offers a range of Human Resource Management (HRM) and Organizational Development (OD) services, including, but not limited to Selection and Placement, Performance Management, Training and Development, Employee Attitudes and Quality of Work Life, Employee Motivation, and Organizational Change and Development.
Industrial and Organizational (I/O) Psychology involves the application of psychological principles and the development of strategies that help build better organizations by improving the performance and well-being of its people. I/O Psychologists contribute to organizational success by assisting organizations in attracting, seelecting, and retaining the right people, developing accurate and fair methods of evaluating performance, developing leaders, engaging in succession planning, and in enhancing motivation, positive job attitudes, happiness, and employee well-being.
The mission of the Center's Division of I/O Psychology is to enhance the success of our partners by providing individualized, innovative, research-based, and cost-effective solutions to emerging Human Resource Management (HRM) and Organizational Development (OD) challenges.
We are making our mission become reality by:
The Boise State University's Center for Applied Psychological Studies offers a win-win-win opportunity for the local business community, the Center and the university.
The local business community wins by having access to professional services typically available only to the largest corporations.
The Center wins by providing a forum where I/O students can interact professionally with organizational representatives and apply classroom knowledge to actual business practices.
Boise State wins by having a bridge to the community that fulfills its strategic plan. Specifically, the Center helps meet the university's goal of developing partnerships with public and private sector agencies, corporations, and businesses. Also, the Center provides an opportunity for the university to transfer state-of-the-art human resource technology to the community.
