...social psychology. Additionally, I will utilize the critical thinking and scientific reasoning skills learned in this course for this analysis. Psychological Perspectives of Employee Engagement Introduction As a recruiter in Human Resources, one reason I decided to pursue a Master’s Degree in Organizational Psychology and Development is to gain further insight into both individual and organizational behavior. I want to learn what makes an organization and the people working in the organization successful as well what factors hinder this success and how they can be overcome. I selected the contemporary topic of employee engagement/satisfaction for two reasons. First of all, this topic is relevant to my current role as I strive to assist our organization in attracting and retaining the right candidates for the right job. Secondly, this topic is of a personal interest to me as I am currently evaluation my own engagement and satisfaction in my current role. While I thoroughly enjoy my job, I am very interested in growing in my profession and am currently contemplating next steps for my career. Employee engagement is defined as the “individual’s involvement and satisfaction with as well as enthusiasm for work” (Harter, Schmidt, & Hayes, 2002, p.269). The subject of employee engagement/satisfaction is relative in the field of psychology as there have been over 7,000 published articles on the subject between the years 1976 and 2000 (Harter et al. 2002). The analysis in this...

...Connell—the interviewee from the APA article—estimated that forensic psychologists make between $200,000 and $400,000 annually. Two other sources of data, however, found substantially lower salary averages in this career. For instance, Indeed (2016) estimates that forensic psychologists make an annual average salary of $78,000. Payscale (2016)—an aggregator of self-reported salary data—found variety of salaries in this field among its 246 reporting forensic psychologists, ranging from $38,772 to $122,849.

Packets may include medical, vision, dental, disability, and legal insurance, and paid vacation/ sick time/ holiday benefits for most employees, and bonus pay with some employers.

...CAREERS What do psychologists do? If you are one of the thousands of new psychology students receiving this issue free, read on as Jon Sutton illustrates some potential career paths ahead of you psychological well-being. It’s demanding work. You would deal with a wide range of psychological difficulties and serious mental illnesses. Clinical psychologists work largely in health and social care settings, including hospitals, health centres, community mental health teams, child and adolescent mental health services, and social services. They usually work as part of a team with, for example, social workers, medical practitioners and other health professionals. Most clinical psychologists work in the NHS, but some work in private practice. Others work as teachers and researchers in universities, adding to the evidence base of the profession. The work is often directly with people, assessing their needs and providing therapy based on psychological theories and research. But as Glenda Wallace (a UK psychologist now working with Otago District health Board in Dunedin, New Zealand) explains, these people can be a great resource themselves: You are face to face with another human being who can bring you richness, and if you are lucky you can give them something back. This is not dismissing our profession, but acknowledging that people are a wonderful resource even without the wealth of theory under their belt that we are supposed to have. A lthough this may be the first step...

...works of Sigmund and became instantly interested in psychoanalysis. As Anna grew, she began to work with Sigmund exploring the idea of psychoanalysis and together they turned it into one of the most widely used methods of psychology. The mutual interest in psychoanalysis brought father and daughter together and formed a close bond between them. Sigmund stated in his book “The Interpretation of Dreams” that, “Annerl had a masculine appetite and aggression, and is beautiful with naughtiness” (Hernandaz, 2008). When Anna was around seventeen years old, she took a two year vacation in which she stayed in Vienna with her grandmother. At the time, Anna was suffering from an illness that was then called, “it”, but can be safely labeled as depression (Hernandaz, 2008). While on vacation, Sigmund wrote to his daughter often and offered advice on how to overcome the “it” she was suffering from. Half way through the vacation however, Anna received a letter from Sigmund stating she was not invited to her sister Sophie’s wedding and subsequently, Anna was once again overtaken with depression. After her two year stay in Vienna, Anna, "...worked as an elementary school teacher and began translating some of her father's works into German, increasing her interest in child psychology and psychoanalysis.” (Hernandaz, 2008). While she was teaching at the Cottage Lyceum, one of the students wrote, “This young lady had far more control over us than the older aunties,” (Jewish women's archive, 2005) This...

...Organizational psychology: Definition: The study of the structure of an organization and of the ways in which the people in it interact, usually undertaken in order to improve the organization. The practice of organizational psychology consists of intervening with organizations to achieve one or more of the following objectives: (1) raise performance, (2) improve processes and relationships, (3) enhance fairness and equity, and (4) increase subjective well-being. Always within the context of organizations, interventions may focus on individuals, pairs of individuals, groups, combinations of groups or whole organizations. Methods of intervention derive from explicit psychological concepts and theories appropriate to the objectives and entities engaged in change processes. When fully utilized, the practice of organizational psychology begins with assessment or diagnosis, proceeds to design and implementation, and concludes with evaluation of the efforts to bring about change. Organizational psychology is practiced with service delivering and product generating organizations from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors of society. Mission: The purpose of the organizational psychology program is to provide students with the finest possible education for practice and for becoming license eligible in New Jersey and other states.

...Statement of Area Psychology is a vast field with several areas to focus on or specialize in as one grows and develops throughout his or her psychological career. One of the most popular fields of psychology is clinical psychology. Clinical psychology is the branch of psychology concerned with the assessment and treatment of mental illness, abnormal behavior, and psychiatric problems. This field integrates the science of psychology with the treatment of complex human problems, making it an exciting career choice for people who are looking for a challenging and rewarding field. Within this field, there are many specializations, and those who achieve their Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) or Psy. D (Doctor of Psychology) can choose from several career options. Many work in hospitals, schools, government jobs, and private practices. Those who achieve a Ph. D in clinical psychology have chosen the most flexible option of the two. A Ph. D in clinical psychology is both scientifically and behaviorally focused allowing those who finish the program can work in clinical, research or educational settings. Whereas, those with Psy. D have completed coursework that is more specifically geared towards counseling in mental health settings. Clinical psychologists often have to diagnose and assess people with mental disorders. There are different tracks within clinical psychology that one can choose to specialize in, such as adult clinical psychology or child clinical psychology. With a specialization...

...Intro Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and experiences of organism in relation to the environment. Sports psychology is concerned with the psychological foundations, processes, and consequences of the psychological regulation of sport-related activities of one or several persons acting as the subject of the activity. Applied sports and exercise psychology involves the idea of theory and research into the field to those individuals such as coaches, fitness professionals, and athletic trainers about psychological aspects of their sports or activity. The ultimate goal that’s trying to be reached through applied sports and exercise psychology is to facilitate optimal involvement, performance, and enjoyment in sport and exercise. Throughout this literature review I will go into detail on what is it to be a sports psychologist, and what are their major job and the benefits of this practice. Many individuals get their masters or even undergraduate degrees in sports psychology.

By giving detailed descriptions and the goals, steps necessary to take to become a sports psychologist, athletic trainer and many other careers you can get into.

...variety of research fields such as psychology and education. Scholars want to find the relationship of self-efficacy and the outcome of academic performance. According to the self-efficacy theory proposed by Bandura in the late 1970s, self-efficacy is the individual’s perceived capability to perform a given duty successfully (Bandura, 1977). As Bandura stated in a more recent article, the belief that a person possesses the power to generate expected effects by his or her actions is the fundamental basis of any factors that serve as guides and motivators. Without such a belief, it is quite hard for a person to find sufficient incentive to take actions or overcome difficulties (Bandura, 2002, p. 2). Pajaresand Schunk(2001) summarized that Bandura’s social cognitive theory emphasizes the important role of self-efficacy belief in the process where individuals make decisions and ultimately take actions to pursue their goals. Alternatively speaking, it is more likely for people to engage in activities when they feel confident and have competence than those that they do not. Meanwhile, according to Hackett and Betz (1981), expectations of personal efficacy play an essentially important role in individual’s career decisions and achievements. Especially, it has remarkable significance in understanding the career development for females. In particular, as Hackett and Betz suggested, efficacy beliefs has close association with individuals’ perceived career choices and also the persistence...
