• PSY 350: PERSONNEL PSYCHOLOGY

  3.00 Credits

  Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

  
  The focus of this course is an examination of individual work behavior in the context of organizations. Personnel psychology (also referred to as industrial psychology) is a sub-field within the broader applied discipline of industrial and organizational psychology (Cascio, 1998). Personnel psychology overlaps with human resources management (HRM). Like industrial and organizational psychology, personnel psychology is based on the "Scientist-Practitioner" model with emphasis on principles of individual, group and organizational behavior through basic research and the application of scientific knowledge to the solution of human problems at work. Personnel psychology has its origins in the first half of the twentieth century where basic psychological theory and principles were applied to assist in the selection and staffing of personnel during World War I (Cooper and Locke, 2000). Following the War, psychologists continued to apply psychological theory and principles to solve real world problems in industry, commerce, and the public sector. Since its early roots in personnel selection, personnel psychology has extended beyond recruiting and hiring processes. As such, in addition to the traditional area of personnel selection, this course will examine such topics as applied psychometrics, job analysis and criteria development, testing, performance management systems, training and development and HRM.
