Do you know what Bluesky needs? MORE MEMES!

My account will post homegrown memes related to industrial-organizational psychology, some of which resonate with anyone who works.

Please repost to help increase my reach! (thanks)

Spongebob's hand walking through file folders that say: No, not therapy; Yes, that is a long name; You can ignore the 'industrial' part; I can't read minds; I don't organize things; That's clinical psych; Examples of I-O topics; I-O is very relevant; It's a great field; Yes your company does need us!

Goal setting can be a powerful motivator — IF you have goal commitment. Let people participate in setting the goals, and that will help.

From Rick Hense - a meme he made that highlights the challenges of getting a good predictor for employment decisions!

Looks like @carolined555 (IG) had validity on her mind when she made this meme - but then again, who is more obsessed with validity than I-O psychologists? 😂

Teaching grad students about validity is a big job, but someone’s gotta do it.

Thanks go @carolined555 IG for creating and sharing this meme!

Couldn’t miss this bandwagon! But seriously, what do my students need to know about AI in the I-O space, besides the ethical and reliability issues?

For all you new grad students out there: it takes a while to get the difference between mediation and moderation. Stick with it - it’s important, and you’ll get there!

Organizational change is often really difficult, so hiring a professional who can help manage the process is a great investment in the change effort.

Many I-O psychologists have extensive training in and great love for data analysis.

I know some of y’all love the MBTI, & as long as you’re not using it for employment decisions, I can look the other way. But let’s be clear: it’s not a great measure of personality.

It’s wild that organizations will hire consultants and then not act on the consultant’s advice, but than again, change is hard

Whether someone liked training isn’t a strong predictor of whether they learned in training, so do your best to evaluate learning (or even better, behavior!) to check training effectiveness

Sure, you’ve heard about SMART goals a lot, but the research says these three elements are what makes goals motivating. They just don’t make for a very catchy mnemonic.

We ask about your past to help predict your future, so prepare for interviews by being ready to help interviewers see the link between the two.

If my friends talk to me about their workplace woes, of course I’m going to use my I-O skills to help them see the situation through my eyes.

If you ask the question, you gotta be prepared to do something about it if the people are unhappy. Otherwise, it’s honestly better not to ask.

Carefully creating interview questions designed to assess what you need in a new employee means you ask those questions to everyone. Some hiring managers don’t like that.
