| Unit Description |
Industrial psychology is concerned with the applications of psychological principles, research methods, and intervention strategies to practical problems of workplace settings. The advent of globalisation has brought with it great challenges/benefits for organisations and employees around the world. Employees are increasingly exposed to diverse work settings. Communication, interpersonal or work boundaries and technological challenges are important issues in today's workplace. Topics covered in this unit will include deviant work behaviours (e.g., workplace bullying, rumours in the workplace), workplace compensations and discriminations at the workplace (e.g., gender inequality, ageing workforce). |
