Choose a topic relevant to industrial/organizational psychology and write a minimum of 5 – 10 double-spaced pages (not including cover and reference pages), using APA format with at least 10 references from peer reviewed journals. A list of available topics may be provided for consideration – but the list of key topics and selected bibliography articles listed in the syllabus should provide some ideas.
