Industrial psychology
Industrial psychology is the psychology that deals with the workplace, focusing on both the workers and the organizations that employ them. Industrial psychologists (also known as organizational psycologists) are concerned with training employees, improving working conditions, and developing criteria for selecting employees, such as creating a new management structure or designing a different questionaire for applicants. The background of industrial psychologists often includes training in social psychology.
