History of Industrial/Organizational Psychology

You will be researching and seeing how the fields of I/O psychology has developed and changed over the course of history. I want you to go online and look at several timelines that describe and show the major developments that lead to the development in the field. You will find items from the late 1800’s all the way to the current events that are occurring today.

What you will be seeing are many events and important people in the field that have helped develop and mold the field into what it is today. I want you to read over many of these timelines to gain a general understanding of what helped shape this field into what it is today. Once you have a general understanding I want you to complete the following assignment:

I want you to choose and explain in great detail 10 events that occurred in your timeline. Explain the event in detail and then discuss how this event influenced the field of I/O psychology. Why was this event important? How did it influence the workplace? How did it influence or impact the workforce (employees/ people doing the jobs at that time)? You should also explain how this event impacted the economy in general/which always trickles down to workers.
Ex’s: WWI, WWII, Unions, AAA Division 14 developed, Hawthorne Studies

Now I want you to choose 10 influential people that have been crucial to the development of this field. Again research them and discuss their ideas, theories, or products that are seen as influential to I/O psychology. Explain why their ideas are seen as important. Share how they changed the workplace or helped employers or employees. Talk about the focus of their ideas or research.
Ex’s: Munsterberg, Henry Ford, Walter Bingham, James Cattell

Please put the events/people in numerical order by dates. You should single space your paragraphs and double space in between each event or person. For each event and person you must have at least 1 paragraph which is 4-6 complete sentences! Make sure you explain in detail each event and person and make the connection between I/O psych and the workplace. So you will have 20 paragraphs for this assignment.

Guidelines for Scholarly Paper

You are expected to write an original, Scholarly Paper, addressing a topic relevant to the course. For a list of possible topics, you may wish to review our textbook’s Table of Contents or Index. You are not limited to these topics; in fact, you are invited to study, research, and write about a neuroscience-related topic/theme that is of special interest and/or relevance to you.

The Scholarly Paper should demonstrate critical thinking skills commensurate with advanced levels of scholarship, such as evaluation, analysis and synthesis. You may wish to review Bloom’s Taxonomy for clarification. Note that a scholarly paper usually incorporates a thesis, antithesis (a contrasting or opposing position) and synthesis. Be sure to defend (i.e., substantiate) your position statements with research-based evidence and well-thought “arguments.” Provide a reasoned critique of salient themes or positions you have advanced. Suggest directions for further study and research. Additionally, be sure to detail 1-2 key studies to illustrate how central themes are empirically investigated. Provide brief information regarding hypothesis, sampling and design methodologies, and results. Then, provide some critique and summary statements regarding the implications of the study or studies. Be sure you have used and cited references that meet the standard for scholarship.

Use of at least ten scholarly sources is required. The paper must follow current APA guidelines. The paper should be double-spaced, using a 12-point font size and a common font face, such as Times New Roman. Be sure to proof your paper for spelling, clarity and organization, and check that it has been formatted in accordance with APA style. Refer to the print APA Publication Manual 6th ed., or visit the APA website, or Vanguard University’s APA Style Essentials for assistance. The paper should be six pages in length, at a minimum, excluding the title, abstract and reference pages. Correct in-text citation and citation format in reference section are imperative to receiving a good grade on this assignment.
