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

Question

True

False

Answer 1

False. While industrial-organizational (I/O) psychologists and HR experts may have overlapping tasks related to personnel selection, training, and employee development, their roles are not the same. I/O psychologists typically focus on research and application of psychological principles to workplace issues, while HR experts may concentrate more on the administration of HR policies, benefits, and compliance. Their training and areas of expertise can differ significantly, even if both are trained as professional psychologists.
