Organisational psychology seeks knowledge of behaviour in organisational settings by systematically studying individual, group and system-level processes. It employs a ‘scientist-practitioner’ method of inquiry, in which you'll first seek to understand behaviour within employment contexts, and then develop techniques and skills that foster employee wellbeing and organisational effectiveness. During the program, you'll develop knowledge and skills you can apply to the development of an organisation’s people and systems to enhance motivation, performance and satisfaction, support psychological wellbeing, and prevent psychological harm. The skills you'll develop include: effective candidate selection systems designing and delivering training programs introducing organisational change designing jobs and organisational structures training and developing executives, managers and supervisors.
