New technologies can have big impacts on work and workers. In this episode, I discuss effects of technology, the meaning of work, and the questionable goal of “efficiency” with U. Sydney Business School Professor Anya Johnson.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator remains the most S-Tier personality measure in the workplace and its not even close.

The results of workplace #diversity / sensitivity trainings are *at best* weak & short-lived, & often result in backlash attitudes & behavior toward those values.
However, non-mandatory trainings & structural accountability has better results.

Last month I explained what *not* to do when someone tells you they are burning out.
This issue explaining what you should do instead: Listen, Empathise, Ask, and Do. Learn how to LEAD someone in the direction of recovery!

Soft skills can have a 256% ROI. AND only 35% of employees said they’re being trained in them. If that’s not enough to convince you that you’re missing out on a strategic advantage, maybe this will: lnkd.in/eND6TZPb

Precarity is real for most of us.

Are job applicants using ChatGPT to take pre-hire assessments? My team and I just published new open-access research in the International Journal of Selection and Assessment looking at the real-world incidence of GenAI use and how to stop it. 🧵 1/4 #IOPsych #GenAI
Here’s my take on #leadership and #organizationalbehavior. It speaks to the heart of why we misunderstand behavior in the workplace (actions, inactions, things said and left unsaid, body language, tone…). And it’s not anything I learned in my #iopsych books/classes.
Employees & leaders constantly misunderstand each other. Keeping it from derailing the team, growth, & bottom line: There's a skill for that, and you won’t find it in most management books or traditional leadership courses. You will find it here: tinyurl.com/mw85jzf7

I'm always impressed by the messiness of organizational psych topics. Economic stress is a mess. Social support is a big mess. Social cohesion is a shit show.
I love psychology.

AI might not be taking jobs at the moment — but many people already fear it.
In our new preprint (experiment + large panel study), we examine why, by showing that simply framing AI as being “in control” increases replacement anxiety.

This week, I attended a lab meeting where we discussed the need for AI contribution statements for academic writing. (Albada & Woods, 2024)
This is fraught. While most people are talking about plagiarism and losing the ability to write without using AI, the real discussion is happening […]

Like you, Herr @iosyislam.bsky.social, I'm a big proponent of teaching employees to listen more attentively to their managers!

I wrote about the connection between transformational #leadership & employee listening. I used #zohranmamdani as an example. If you're in #leadershipdevelopment #iopsych or training give it a read!
Just found the Ph.D. dissertations for my grandmother and my great uncle from University of Texas at Arlington in the 1980s.
They were both experimental psychologists, but they were each studying things very near and dear to #iopsych (i.e., workplace incivility and task uniqueness/identifiability).
And there will be just as many #IOPsych jobs in the post-apocalypse as there are now!
Findings suggest that #iopsych has much to offer even without technology and modern tools especially in areas like training and leadership
