I/O Blogs

The online I/O community is a bit scattered – one of the reasons that I started my own blog is because I couldn’t find many other I/O blogs.  So to prevent others from going through the same trouble, I decided to start and maintain a list.  If you aren’t on this list and think you should be, or if your blog is inaccurately described, let me know!

If you think the list is a little short, then you should start your own!

  • Foster Excellence is a blog by Ph.D. student in organizational science (M.S. in I/O) and his blog “exists to share numerous research perspectives and commentary on the complex issues facing the world of work and business.”
  • In the Jungle is run by George Guajardo, a manager at Lightspeed Research, who self-identifies as an I/O psychologist.
  • iOrgPsych is run by Eva, who describes the blog as “A psychology perspective on business. This research-based and opinon-rich blog is intended to stimulate thought and conversation around why we do what we do and how we can do it better, both personally and professionally.”
  • Incentive Intelligence is the blog of i2i, a consultancy.  In this post, they said, “Our approach uses a lot of concepts and research that are grounded in motivation, social psychology and behavioral economics,” which you might or might not construe as I/O.
  • I/O AT WORK “bridges the gap between I/O psychology and its application in the HR world (and beyond) by making it easy to access and apply difficult, hard to find, research.”
  • Jeremy Anglim’s Blog is, as you might expect, a blog written by Jeremy Anglim.  He describes himself on Twitter as a “Lecturer at University of Melbourne bridging I/O psychology and statistics: R User, blogger, social network analyst, & human performance researcher.”
  • The MBTI Blog is written by Breanne Porter, who describes herself as an “Organizational Development Consultant who consults with a myriad of corporate and governmental organizations, that make use of CPP’s numerous publications and assessments.”
  • Organization Solutions is a firm of several I/O psychologists that have started four blogs, each with a different focus: corporate strategy, cross-cultural issues, leadership, and a personal blog from their CEO.
  • Psychology Applied to Life states as its goal to “collect, display, and theorize about the many ways that psychology can and may be applied to life,” and is written by a Ph.D. student in I/O psychology.
  • Workplace Psychology is written by Steve Nguyen, also a Ph.D. student of I/O psychology, as well as a “consultant and trainer with experience in training & development, diversity & inclusion, education, mental health, and crisis management.”
  • The SIOP Exchange is the official blog of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology.

Please note that I am trying to include only blogs that self-identify as I/O or cover topics that are more traditionally I/O than anything else – if it covers HR or OB but never mentions psychology, it probably won’t be listed here.
