Psychology is the study of the human psyche and behavior. Psychology is a science meaning that it is grounded in the rigor of the scientific method. Psychologists study human cognition and behavior with intelligence and control. A Science Practitioner applies the measurable science of work psychology to the workplace. Science Practitioners help integrate the benefit of the evidence-based research of organizations and their members in practical and effective application. Empirical research is foundational to everything that ioPSYte® does for the organization.
Human beings are complex and social creatures. Human complexities and myriads of other variables are native to the workplace. If you have ever decided something regarding yourself and a work team and it did not play out as you expected, you can appreciate the complexity of attempting to predict outcomes that have both impactful and enduring ramifications on the organization and its members. Making decisions based on research drastically increases successful probabilities. Science Practitioners not only rely on research but are educated in the psychology of person and group ensuring that both individual and social dynamics are considered. People are unique, but under certain environmental conditions and in response to those stimuli there are recognizable patterns. Knowing how these patterns emerge and what independent and moderating variables to effect are key to astute progress. Basing our decisions on research and particularly meta-analyses, ioPSYte® can help you gain the momentum you need to produce the culture and performance you require.
