What is I-O?

Industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology is the scientific study of the workplace. Rigor and methods of psychology are applied to issues of critical relevance to business, including talent management, coaching, assessment, selection, training, organizational development, performance, and work-life balance.

Notice of External Awards:  A Call to Nominate SIOP Members 

Annette Towler
Illinois Institute of Technology
Chair of the External Awards Subcommittee

One of SIOPs current objectives is to increase the visibility of the society within the wider community. One way in which this can be achieved is through nominating SIOP members for external awards. We are pleased to announce that within the last 12 months both John Campbell and Ed Locke gained recognition for their work. APS presented Ed Locke with the James McKeen Cattell Fellow Award (20052006), which recognizes APS Members for a lifetime of outstanding contributions to the area of applied psychological research. John Campbell received the 2006 APA Distinguished Scientific Award for the Application of Psychology, which honors psychologists who have made distinguished theoretical or empirical advances in psychology leading to the understanding of important practical problems. We are very proud to have our distinguished I-O psychologists win these prestigious awards. (Previous award winners are listed below.) 

We encourage all SIOP members to consider nominating a SIOP member for forthcoming APA and APS awards. 

The Decade of Behavior Research Award recognizes high-caliber research that has had a demonstrated impact on policy or society at large, has contributed to the use of social and behavioral science knowledge in policy settings, or has enhanced public understanding of behavioral or social science principles. 

The focus of the Decade of Behavior Research award last year was safety and two SIOP members were nominated. The topic of this years award has not yet been announced, but we encourage you to monitor the APA Web site (www.decadeofbehavior.org) as we expect the topic of this award to be available by the time this issue of TIP is printed. We will also announce the topic of this award in the July issue of TIP. 

Please nominate a SIOP member today and let the External Awards Committee know if they can be of assistance! For assistance with a nomination or to suggest SIOP members who might be nominated for these awards, contact Annette Towler (towler@iit.edu).
