The roles/tasks of an I/O psychologist and HR experts can be the same if they are both trained as professional psychologists. True or false

Answer 1

True. While Industrial/Organizational (I/O) psychologists and Human Resources (HR) experts may have different primary focuses, both can perform similar roles/tasks, especially if they have been trained as professional psychologists. I/O psychologists typically apply psychological principles to the workplace to address issues related to employee behavior, performance, and well-being, while HR experts focus on managing personnel, recruitment, training, and organizational practices. However, both can contribute to improving organizational effectiveness, employee satisfaction, and culture, and both may use similar tools and techniques, making their roles somewhat overlapping when they have psychological training.
