ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Organizational psychology is very important in the workplace. By understanding how a company operates and taking into account the performance of individual employees, improvements can be promoted that benefit the whole.
        The objective of psychologists specialized in this branch is to know how an individual affects the rest and the organization in general, and how it affects the behavior of each of the individuals.
        By acting on these interrelationships, it is possible to optimize different variables for the benefit of people and the organization.
        
        Within a company, the organizational psychologist fulfills many tasks and functions, among which are the following:
        
        organize, direct and plan all human activities that take place in the organization, as well as the relationships between the different workers, and this includes the responsibility to admit, evaluate, compensate and take care of the development of the workforce;
        
        When a problem arises that may threaten the work environment and, consequently, the development of the company, organizational psychology must act through the application of its own behavioral and cognitive skills to find a solution.
        
        Before conflicts appear, you should be aware of any negative signs to prevent them through different procedures, such as personal interviews, surveys or questionnaires that allow employees to express their concerns and suggest improvements;
        
        Outside of problems between people, organizational psychology must also detect any factor that negatively influences the performance of workers and alert superiors if it believes it necessary to carry out certain changes to ensure the achievement of the company's objectives.

        When a company says its ingredients are organic I hope I can read the full ingredients on its packaging or that information is available.
