***** Psychology

The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the topic ***** industrial or organizational psychology. Specifically, it will ***** the issue of leadership and issues ***** power in a dysfunctional organization. Leadership is one of ***** most important aspects of any organization, and it can be a source ***** stress, dissatisfaction, and job dissatisfaction, as well. How ********** choose and motivate leaders can be empowering or threatening to the **********, ***** using organizational psychology techniques to hire, qualify, and create ***** can be ***** of the most important aspects of organizational ***** put to good use in an org*****ization.

***** issues ***** leadership and power affect just about every aspect of any organization, and certainly affect ***** day-*****-day job satisfaction ***** production of the staff of that organization. In ***** past, I have worked for an ***** that promoted m*****agers and leaders based not on their *****hip qual*****ies, but on their job experience or length of service with the organizati*****, which led to people rising to leadership positions who had very few leadership skills. *****n a ***** ********** ***** this type, the le*****dership and quest for power became a source of dissatisfaction, ***** *****, and poor job per*****mance, which led to a high st*****ff turnover and general ***** ***** the job.

They had issues with power, they ***** dictatorial and controlling, and ***** no understanding of any types of psychological management techniques. They were very difficult to work *****, and I eventually left ***** work in another department, as did almost everyone else in ***** department.

Job analysis is one of the most important ********** in organizational psychology because it gives an overall picture of the ***** ***** the job's purpose, as well as the incumbent performing the job. I do not believe a thorough ***** analysis has even ***** performed on the jobs in ***** organization where I worked. I ***** a ***** job ***** of *****ll management ***** ***** benefit the job ***** a number ***** ways, including defining ***** characteristics of the job and ***** person performing the job, and it ***** also help define ***** ***** characteristics necessary to perform the job.

Performance ***** would also be important in redef*****ing ***** job, ***** the performance appraisals would need ***** ***** redesigned to represent more of the management ***** of the job, ***** what
