Work and Organizational Psychology - Home

Welcome to the Department of Work and Organizational Psychology

The field of Work and Organizational Psychology deals with the scientific study of human behavior at work and in organizations.

With our research we want to contribute to the design of human-centred working conditions and promote health and personal growth at work. As an applied subject of psychology, we conduct our research primarily in the work setting and are open to cooperation with organizations.

In our lectures we want to empower students to reflect critically on the scientific findings in Work and Organizational Psychology, so they can act expertly and responsibly in research and occupational practice.
