Since I teach in the Industrial and Organizational MA Program at New York University, I often get asked to describe the field. I/O Psychology might sound like a narrow field of study and practice, but in fact it's quite broad, encompassing topics as from individual motivation in the workplace to team dynamics to organizational culture change. I/O is also a growing field, and the annual conference of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology attracts thousands of attendees each year.

In addition to teaching in Universities and Colleges, I/O Psychologists work as trainers, facilitators, assessors, coaches, and consultants, and work in human resources, leadership or organizational development departments within companies and organizations, or as external consultants in firms large or small.
