JAIOP: The Japanese Association of I-O Psychology
JAIOP was founded in 1985 and has 890 members in four
divisions: Personnel, Organizational Behavior, Human Engineering, and Marketing.
According to Masao Baba, JAIOP is an active group. They hold an annual
convention, and each division sponsors a special symposium once a year. Twice a
year they publish the Japanese Association of Industrial/Organizational
Psychology Journal (abstracts are in English) and a newsletter. JAIOP also
provides research funding for young I-O psychologists.
Each year, they set aside some funds to invite a well-known I-O psychologist
to address them. To date, SIOP Fellows Marvin Dunnette, Richard Arvey,
and Edwin Locke have addressed the group.
JAIOP is now preparing for its 18th Annual Convention, which will be held
October 56, 2002. For more details, contact Masao Baba at mfbaba@topaz.ocn.ne.jp.
