1. People at work
1.1 Work and organizational psychology
Work: a set of coordinated (workers do not act randomly) and goal-directed (intended to bring a
specified result) activities that are conducted, usually (but not necessarily and often not exclusively) in
exchange for something else.
Work psychology (psychological study of work activities): studies the work activities of people, that is,
the way in which people perform tasks. Persons are viewed as ‘workers’ that perform tasks from work
processes within the organization. Is about the way workers’ behaviors, motivations, thoughts,
emotions, health and well-being relate to each other, and about ways to influence these concepts.
Contemporary work psychology: promote sustainable performance: maximize work performance as
well as worker health and well-being
Organizational psychology: studies (collective) behavior from people with respect to forming and
functioning of organizations. People are involved as ‘members’. It is about the context in which work
activities are conducted (e.g. the organization, the work team, leadership, participation, organizational
culture/structure).
Personnel psychology: studies the relationship between a person and an organization, in particular the
foundation of the relationship, its development and its determination. People are viewed as individuals
or ‘employees’ of an organization. Is about the characteristics of the person conducting a particular
work task or selecting or hiring new staff
There is an inclination in work psychology to focus predominantly on high-status workers and ethnic
majorities in well-developed parts of the world.
