Practical Training: What is it like to be a Work and Organisational Psychologist?
Volledige vakbeschrijving
Students familiarise themselves with the profession of a work and organisational psychologist by studying literature and documents on the competences required in work and organisational psychology and by interviewing a subject matter expert (SME) about his or her job. Based on these documents and the job analysis literature, students prepare the interview, analyse the data and report their findings in a job description and job/person specification. Students also reflect on their own interviewing skills. The whole process is described in a report. Students briefly present their findings in an interactive session, and share with each other information on a variety of jobs that they may aspire to in the field of work and organisational psychology.
