| Abstract: | Reviews research in organizational psychology (OP) conducted by Canadians and/or at Canadian institutions. Some of the major issues faced by organizational psychologists are identified. Discussion focuses on 2 major themes. First, although Canadians have made substantial contributions to the field of OP, there is a need for more research focusing on issues unique to Canadian organizations and employees. Second, much of the research in OP is being conducted in schools of business. Only recently have programs in industrial/organizational psychology been developed in departments of psychology. Given the nature of OP, there may be many benefits to collaborative efforts in research and training. (French abstract) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
