Psychology in organizations

introduction

In this article you can see an overview of Psychology in Organizations. Organizations in general represent one of the human activities with more social prominence, the media open many doors for personal benefits.

Psychology in organizations is a relatively new science that has been integrated into the world in organizations over time and there are more and more professionals who intervene in organizations, who work with collaborators and integrate and enrich organizations with the psychology and at the same time they are fed with the new achievements obtained.

The intention of this article is to give the general idea of Psychology in organizations today, its objectives and differentiate the role and importance of psychology in organizations.

II. Background

In the theory of Mexican psychology by the author Rogelio Díaz Guerrero mentions that: "Work is a primary activity in human life…" I share his way of thinking, because it is the activity that helps us to to be better human beings and to have a better quality of life. On the other hand, he also mentions that: “… In Mexico, as in the rest of the world, work is fundamental for life…” (Díaz, 1961). Thanks to this, collaborators obtain a good standard of living, they also develop their language, level of communication and negotiation. But on the other hand, he mentions that: "The Mexican cannot have a neutral attitude towards work, he always sees it as a duty and an obligation…".I totally agree with him because generally in organizations they do not handle the concept of psychology well and that is who makes the collaborator to improve things and make him more responsible, allowing him to obtain surpluses and the satisfaction of his needs.

In the pyramid or hierarchy of human needs that Abraham Maslow formulated is a theory about human motivation. “The scale of needs is described as a pyramid of five levels: the first four levels can be grouped as« deficit needs or D-needs »(primary); the higher level he called for the last time 'self-realization', '' Growth motivation '', or 'need to be' (being needs or B-needs)… ”(Maslow, 1943). This theory not only obtained good results in the part of motivation (psychology) if not also good things were seen in the business field of marketing or advertising. I believe that Mr. Maslow's theory is very true for motivation and with it psychology and thus be able to obtain self-realization in personal and work goals.

III. Development

Organizational psychology is the scientific study of human behavior in organizations. Its main methods are observation and experience since they can be measured and recorded. Organizational psychology, with its methods and procedures, has the same category as any science, since it is known by its methods and not by its object.

When an organizational psychologist observes the behavior of workers, he does so by following the most common traditions of science: objective, impartial, and systematic. If his method is objective, so is the object of his observation, human behavior.

External behavior is the only aspect of human existence that can be observed, measured, and recorded objectively. However, it also deals with the intangible dimensions of the human being: motivations, emotions, ideas and desires. It is not possible to directly observe these facets of our inner or subjective life, but to infer them.

This is how the organizational psychologist tries to learn more about human behavior, but the essence of the scientific method is simply that the psychologist carefully observes, listens, measures and records everything with objectivity, precision and impartiality.

I believe that the importance of organizational psychology is necessary since it consists in that it has allowed us to understand human phenomena within the organization in their relationships with the rest of the organizational system. Therefore, the studies of this scientific branch must be done under the framework of the systems approach. Thus, in order to integrate the same Psychology of organizations in a systemic perspective, our interest is oriented to describe their relationships, roles, inputs, products, beneficiaries and ways of evaluating their effectiveness.

Organizational psychology has a direct impact on computing, since in this career it is essential to work together with other people through support teams. And as mentioned before, this branch of psychology has a main objective which is to study how individuals develop within any type of organization in work teams and to find a way for them to carry out their work more efficiently and be more productive for the same organization in which they work, studying the behavior of individuals.

Organizational Psychology was developed from the movement of human relations in organizations puts more interest in the employee than Industrial Psychology; which is concerned with understanding behavior and strengthening the well-being of employees in their workplace. Organizational topics include employee attitudes, behavior, job stress, and supervisory techniques.

However, the main themes of the area cannot be categorized as strictly industrial or organizational. For example, motivation is important for issues in Industrial Psychology in relation to efficiency and employee performance, but it is also highly relevant in Organizational Psychology's concern for the happiness and well-being of employees. While the two areas cannot always be clearly differentiated together, they offer a glimpse into the extensive nature of their field of action.

Organizational Psychology developed as the organization put more interest in the employee; is concerned with understanding behavior and strengthening the well-being of employees in the workplace. Organizational issues include employee attitudes, behavior, job stress, supervisory techniques, this is to show that psychologists have as their main competence to define the content of the profession and particularly the various forms of specialization, then the Profiles of competencies to be prepared to define competencies of psychologists to be demonstrated at the time of entry into supervised work or at the beginning of independent practice and in later stages of the profession thereforethe role of the organizational psychologist is a key piece for the balance and development of the same, with the fulfillment of the objectives set in an organization and carrying out the management and development of human talent with the ability to renew and create a strengthened company, layers and intelligent with trained personnel and the union of all its parts and thus, to be a single intelligent body, this taking into account all the existing models in organizational psychology.this taking into account all the existing models in organizational psychology.this taking into account all the existing models in organizational psychology.

The study of organizational behavior is soon confused by the enormous amount of terms that are exchanged and have been used as synonyms, which deserve to be detailed and compared, in order to identify them and give them an adequate interpretation.
