This article sought to demonstrate the relevance of lifespan models to industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology. The article specifically shows how the selective optimization with compensation (SOC) model can be applied in three I/O psychology areas: organizational-level functioning, leadership, and work-family conflict. The SOC model provides a framework for understanding “an individual’s successful development process across the entire life span” (Baltes & Dickson, 2001, p. 52). Successful development is shaped by the individual’s stage of life as well as personal and cultural factors. This model is based on the assumption that an individual’s physical, mental, and environmental resources are limited at any given point in time. Accordingly, the individual must effectively allocate the limited resources through “selection, optimization, and compensation techniques.” According to Baltes & Dickson (2001), I/O psychologists can apply the SOC model to understand work-family balance, organizational functioning, and leadership. In other words, the model can be useful for addressing various organizational behaviors.

The aim of this article was to study self-reported shortcomings in I/O psychology literature published between 1995 and 2008 in three journals: Personnel Psychology, Academy of Management Journal, and the Journal of Applied Psychology. The study focused specifically on research topic, research design, and identified limitations. Following a content analysis of 2,402 articles, it was found that internal validity threats were the most commonly reported limitations. The large sample used is one of the major strengths of the study. More importantly, the theoretical and practical significance of the study is immense. It is imperative for I/O psychology researchers to improve internal and external validity...
Introduction Capture interest: The importance of doctoral identity cannot be overemphasized. By the end of doctoral education, students must have skills, knowledge, habits, and values that are consistent with their professional role. Context: Doctoral identity, also referred to a professional identity, denotes “the relatively stable and enduring constellation of attributes, beliefs, values, motives, and experiences in terms of which people define themselves in a professional role” (Smith & Hatmaker, 2015, p. 547). This identity
Chokshi, Carter, Gupta, and Allen (1995) report that during the critical states of emergency, ongoing intermittently until 1989, a low-level police official could detain any individual without a hearing by for up to six months. "Thousands of individuals died in custody, frequently after gruesome acts of torture" Those who were tried were sentenced to death, banished, or imprisoned for life" (Chokshi, Carter, Gupta, & Allen, ¶ 6). The enactment
Developing a Professional Identity Pursuing an education specialist degree has solidified my professional identity, as I build confidence in my skill set and level of competency. I have already established myself within the field of education but have shifted focus to special education. This course has helped me to develop a professional identity as a special education teacher and one who eventually hopes to advocate and inform public policy. Personal Philosophy and
Identity in Emerging Adulthood Identity Title an exploration of employment selection behaviors and the link to identity development. Area of study This study considers the employment selection behaviors of emerging adults. Employment selection is a critical element of the development process. It influences and structures the ability to take care of oneself in the present and the future. However, more significantly employment is an indicator of independence and display of the ability to commit
Introduction Qualitative research designs assume many forms, and the usefulness of each depends on the research questions and the theoretical vantage point of the researcher. Five of the main approaches to qualitative research design include narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case studies (Creswell & Poth, 2018). This paper will focus exclusively on two of those qualitative research designs, grounded theory and ethnography, to showcase the strengths and weaknesses of
The mantra is HURRY UP, HURRY UP -- but do we actually get more done, or, in fact, are our stress levels so out of whack that we end up with more heart disease, and more. Turns out just workplace stress costs Australia almost $15 billion per year, and Australian employers over $10 billion. Instead of resting, they are more hidden medical costs, and almost a week's worth of
