With over 20 years of passion for psychology and human behavior, our foundation is built on a unique blend of business experience and academic expertise in Industrial-Organizational Psychology. After the sale of an original business venture in 2016, the path continued through the completion of a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, followed by a Master of Arts and a PhD in Applied Psychology with a focus in I/O Psychology.
Our work is fueled by empathy for individuals who feel disconnected or discouraged in their careers. Whether it’s a misalignment in role or workplace culture, we believe every person deserves meaningful work. We help individuals and teams reduce inner conflict, increase job satisfaction, and improve performance—applying science to create lasting impact. ioPSYte® was born from this passion: a research-informed, human-centered consulting approach designed to help organizations and people thrive—together.
A Brief History of Industrial Organizational Psychology
Psychologists study human behavior to understand the internal and external factors that influence it, including well-being. Industrial-Organizational (I/O) Psychology emerged in the early 1900s during the industrial revolution, initially focusing on improving workplace efficiency. Over time, attention shifted toward the human and organizational aspects of work, including stress and work-life boundaries, especially in the 1960s and 70s. With technological advancements and globalization, new challenges arose in managing work across time and space. I/O Psychology has evolved to address these issues through evidence-based research, aiming to enhance both people and processes in the workplace.
ioPSYte® and Future Contribution
Evolving markets and advancing technology are creating ongoing opportunities for workplace research. As information becomes more accessible, the need for evidence-based practices is critical for organizations seeking to align meaningful work with strategic goals. Employees are increasingly acting as consumers, choosing where and for whom they work. In response, organizations are recognizing the value of science-backed consulting and training, especially those that treat employees as internal customers. Evidence-based approaches are becoming the gold standard, with Industrial-Organizational Psychology (IOP) emerging as a core discipline alongside traditional functions like IT. Companies like ioPSYte® are integrating research divisions to deliver cutting-edge solutions and contribute to the broader IOP field.
