As per the American Psychological Association, Business Psychology (which is also referred to as "Industrial/Organizational Psychology") is characterized by the scientific study of human behavior in organizations and the workplace. The specialty focuses on deriving principles of individual, group & organizational behavior and applying this knowledge to the "solution of problems at work”.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

As the workplace becomes ever so complex & more demanding, the pressure placed on an organization’s employees, in the form of job demands and the resultant work-related stress, has become a grave concern. Additionally given the dynamics of human interactions & the complexity of the interpersonal relationships that exist in a modern-day workplace, both within the Organization & with outside stakeholders, it's crucially important that Organizations make an effort to understand the importance of the ‘Psychological aspects’ relating the functioning of one’s organization.
