Course Objectives: | The purpose of this course is to teach the students the basic principles of Industrial and Organizational Psychology and how the psychological and psychometrical theories are applied at work and organizational settings. It is also aimed to enable students for gaining the necessary competencies for understanding the workplace problems from psychological point of view in a way that at least they can make basic suggestions on the solutions of behavior related problems. Moreover they are informed in detail with the necessary psychometric properties of the Psychological Assessment tools that are used in work settings and the ethical issues related with these tools. |
