And there you have it! I think though, IOs are the only people who actually do it!

What’s the foundation of a lot of I-O psychology practices? A job analysis.

This is the biggest angst of my IO life... 🥴

[iopsychmemes.bsky.social @iopsychmemes]

People often chafe at being restricted to a list of interview questions, but the standardization does reduce bias and improve hiring quality.

It’s disappointing when I like the description of a construct but then I hate the survey items used to measure the construct.

Perfectly put 😍

We don’t do therapy, and we aren’t professional organizers, but there aren’t enough blue pie pieces to cover all the things that we actually do!

'ROFL'... Oh dear, so true unfortunately... Still ROFL 😭

[iopsychmemes.bsky.social @iopsychmemes]

Measuring something abstract (like job satisfaction or work stress) is difficult, and we spend a lot of time getting trained on how to do that.

[Lynne Allison @Work_Psych]

Oh yes, indeedy... Not to mention the cost and effort to move that individual on! 🙄

[iopsychmemes.bsky.social @iopsychmemes]

Walking in with zero prep to interview a candidate, figuring your intuition will guide you? That’s a fast track to a decision that future you will regret.

@AilsDay Hmm yes but do you think you'd get the job 😉

[Lynne Allison @Work_Psych]

OK come on let's all share... What's your best interview question... (not) 🤔

[iopsychmemes.bsky.social @iopsychmemes]

The last one I heard about was “If you got fired for cause, what would it be for?” What, exactly, does this measure??

@iopsychmemes I reckon this one is up there too... "tell us the last time you told a lie..." 😳

[Lynne Allison @Work_Psych]

So true... What the university of Canterbury in NZ are doing is having their new grad students go out into the, community and interview IO Psychs for the 'real world view'. I was interviewed on Monday this week... What a brilliant idea for new students 😁

[iopsychmemes.bsky.social @iopsychmemes]

Science communication is a very important skill that isn’t typically taught in grad school, so find ways to connect with various audiences

@iopsychmemes Should I mention I in fact 'do' have a black cat??

[Lynne Allison @Work_Psych]

Omg loving it... Keep 'em coming 😁

[iopsychmemes.bsky.social @iopsychmemes]

It’s well documented that women do more helping tasks at work, esp ones that do not get rewarded. Make your workplace more equitable by having a system for distributing/rewarding this work fairly

[Lynne Allison @Work_Psych]

Um like yeah... 😜

[iopsychmemes.bsky.social @iopsychmemes]

It’s nothing personal. I just need to tell you how to make your survey better.
