The Aim of the Course: This course is aimed to deepen your knowledge of the field of industrial and organizational (I/O) psychology. During the semester, you will have acquire knowledge about employee training and development, basic organizational behavior topics such as employee motivation, positive and negative employee behaviors, leadership, group processes in work organizations, and organizational structure and culture.
Course Format: Four lectures are planned to be reserved for each assigned chapter. The lectures will be supplemented by case and research exercises as well as real-life examples. Each of the four lectures will be followed by four lecture hours reserved for your article presentations whose topics are related to the previous chapter.
Regular attendance to the lectures and reading the assigned material before the class are strongly encouraged since both of them will seriously help you get the most you can from the class. In addition, you are expected to contribute to the class discussions.
Assessment: Assessment includes participation grade, article presentation grade, research proposal grade, and a final exam grade. The final exam will include multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, and short essay questions which will cover the materials presented in the class and in the assigned readings. You will also have two assignments.
Grading:
1. Participation in class discussions 10%
2. Article Presentation 15%
3. Research Proposal 30%
3. Final 45%
Partcipation in Class Discussions (10%)
You are expected to participate in class discussions during the lectures of article presentations. In other words, you are expected to read the assigned articles before the lectures and contribute to the class discussions by asking the presenters relevant questions or by coming up original ideas about, for example, directions for future research about the topic.
Article Presentations (15%)
In groups of 2, you are going to present the assigned article as if you are the authors of the article J. Therefore, you are expected to be deeply informed about the theoretical reasoning behind the study, hypotheses, methodology used and why that specific methodology was chosen, the results of the study, how the results should be interpreted, limitations of the study, and the directions for future studies that can be derived from that the findings of that specific research.
Presentations should not exceed 30 minutes. In order to get the full grade,
· You should not copy and paste the sentences directly from the article.
· You are allowed to present the original tables, figures, etc.; however, you are expected to present and interpret the contents of those figures, tables, etc. with your own words.
Research Proposal (30%)
In groups of 3, you are going to write a research proposal about one of the topics of interest for you related to I/O psychology. You are not limited to the topics covered in class during the semester. So, feel free to choose any topic of I/O pscyhology that you are interested in and, as I always tell you (and as it was told me by my previous M.A. advisor), study what is in your heart! J
In order to get the full grade,
· You should come up with an original idea (you should not re-invent the wheel! J)
· You should strictly follow the APA guidelines while writing your research proposal.
· Your proposal should include a “Title J, Abstract, Introduction, Method, and References” sections.
· In the Introduction section, you should present the aim of your study, summarize the relevant literature, rationale of the research idea and hypotheses. You should also include “Expected Theoretical and Practical Implications” section at the end of your Introduction section.
· In the Method section, you should specify the participants, data collection method and/or procedure, and the measures that are going to be used in detail.
