Managing Human Resources for Environmental
Sustainability

The Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP)
is the premier membership organization for those practicing
industrial and organizational psychology. The Society’s mission is
to enhance human well-being and performance in organizational and
work settings by promoting the science, practice, and teaching of
industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology. I-O psychologists
apply research that improves the well-being and performance of
people and the organizations that employ them. This involves
everything from workforce planning, employee selection, and leader
development to studying job attitudes and job motivation,
implementing work teams, and facilitating organizational change.
SIOP is a nonprofit organization with more than 6, 000 members.
While an independent organization with its own governance, SIOP is
also a division within the American Psychological Association and
an organizational affiliate of the Association for Psychological
Science.
