Organizational Psychology
It appears to be a good time to be a corporate psychologist. Organizational psychologist jobs are expected to jump 26 percent between 2008 and 2018, rising much faster than other positions in the psychology field, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Organizational psychology tackles sensitive issues:
- Workplace stigmas: Weight, physical attractiveness, sexual orientation, disabilities, religious beliefs, and race.
- Workplace culture: An especially sensitive topic after an acquisition, when you must merge two company cultures.
- Workplace aggression: An increasingly common issue, as seen with recent incidents.
