Abstract
Reflections on current developments in Work and Organizational psychology
In this article, I address the reflections and concerns about current developments in Work and Organizational (W&O) psychology as raised by the other authors in this special issue of Gedrag & Organisatie. W&O psychology is productive and performs well in both lab and field research. However, she struggles with her identity and place in the academic landscape. W&O psychology focuses on the functioning of individuals in the context of organizations and is strong in her multi-method and multi-level approach. Her research questions are both fundamental and relevant for society. By introducing new international publication rules, research findings could become more available and attractive for professionals. This will open doors for high quality research in organizations.
