Industrial/Organizational Psychologist Salary

It often seems to the average worker like employers only care about the bottom line, and not at all about the needs or careers of the people who work so hard to get that bottom line where it is. An industrial/organizational psychologist has a tremendous opportunity. His or her efforts work to both empower workers and get them working more effectively. It's been shown time and time again that employees who are comfortable and feel heard in the work setting are more productive, make fewer mistakes, and are less likely to filch office supplies or slack off on the job. A good I/O psychologist, then, improves the bottom line by improving employees' lives and employers' lives alike. Ultimately, everyone wins! Of course, an industrial/organizational psychologist with any experience in the field knows that people do better work when they feel they are being adequately compensated. Whether you're an aspiring I/O psychologist or already working in the field, PayScale's salary data can help you make the most informed career choices possible.
