Welcome

The Canadian Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology is an official section of the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA). Members consist of faculty from both Psychology departments and Business schools, consultants from various organizations, and students from numerous universities.

The Canadian Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (CSIOP) is an organization whose mission is to further the welfare of people by: (a) helping organizations effectively manage their human resources, (b) scientifically investigating human behaviour and cognition at work, and (c) helping individuals realize their work goals, including helping them to maximize job satisfaction and productivity and minimize work stress. You can engage with our site by learning more about us, reading our original content (which shares research, highlights findings, and showcases practical issues faced in organizations), or exploring content relevant to students. We also have an active social media presence on Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

CSIOP EDI Commitment Statement

CSIOP wants to make the work and lives of people from different backgrounds better by setting equity, diversity, and

inclusion (EDI) goals. CSIOP wants to make sure everyone feels welcome and valued. Our work applies to workers,

researchers, students, and Industrial and Organizational Psychology professionals.

CSIOP commits to improving the physical and mental well-being of all people by:

1. Making sure Industrial and Organizational Psychology is fair and welcoming to everyone, no matter their background,

2. Learning from and helping people who face unfair treatment because of differences, in research, at work, and across Canada,

3. Learning from and working with Indigenous Peoples (in Canada; First Nations, Métis, and Inuit). CSIOP has very few Indigenous members, so we want to build relationships with Indigenous Peoples to better achieve our mission, and

4. Thinking hard about how our field can help make a better, fairer future for everyone.

By making these promises, CSIOP strives to create a future where everyone can be happy, healthy, and safe at work.
