Week 1 studying behavior in
organizations
💡 Lecture 1
The person & the workplace — De persoon en de omgeving

The founding father of Psychology: Wilhelm Wundt

The founding fathers of Organizational Psychology

Cattell was interested in individual differences

Munsterberg was interested in interaction individuals & environment




WW1

IQ test military in the past: otherwise managing a person to perform a task
would cost more than it yields.

Testing got a big boost throughout the first world war



1920s and 1930s

People working in factories ← easy work




Week 1 studying behavior in organizations 1

, Managing means steering people

First people who thought about management: engineers

You needed a human factor to work with a machine

How to make a person more productive?

Started studies in factories with stopwatch

Studies about effect of light on work productivity

Hawthorne effect: a change in behavior or attitudes that was the simple
result of increased attention

You can change behavior and peoples attitudes just by giving attention

The moon is not going to change because you look at it, people are

We have to be aware that what we watch is changed by us

Someones behavior changes when you ask someone how the person
is doing

Because of the Hawthorne effect → Human relation movement.

People are more than just parts of a factory: why are people motivated,
why are they happy etc.

Looking from a more human perspective and knowing that the people
needed attention



WW2

Started to think about interaction between e.g. airplanes & human beings



1960s

Things like diversity and dealing with equality became more important as well



Today’s environment

People are working from home and interact through technology


Week 1 studying behavior in organizations 2

, What do we know of working from home?

It saves time, space and energy

Mixed results on performance

Mixed results on well being

Individual differences

Performance is the number 1 issue in Organizational Psychology

Maximum performance: the level of performance in a given domain that
one can produce on demand for a short period if one chooses to exert
maximum effort

Typical performance: day-to-day performance

The correlation between the two is moderate → there is a reason to see
those things as different concepts

A moderator is a factor which influences the correlation between X and Y.

If you drink alcohol it will influence your driving behavior. This
correlation is influenced by antibiotics. When you take antibiotics and
you drink alcohol → the correlation between alcohol and driving
behavior becomes stronger.
