Description
The American Psychological Foundation (APF) supports research that advances consulting and industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology through this grant. Its scope includes professional ethics in organizational, consulting, and I-O psychology; the interaction of occupational interests, abilities, and personality with career choice, job satisfaction, work motivation, and job performance; and occupational mental health.
The program values original, innovative work with a clear contribution to the field, alongside project quality, viability, and potential impact. Funded studies have explored adaptability fit and well-being, unequal work arrangements among small-business employees, ethical administration of online career assessments, and cultural influences on performance-rating accuracy. Doctoral-level psychologists at any career stage may apply, with priority given to early-career psychologists.
