Okay, so I wanted to learn more about how people tick in the workplace, you know, organizational psychology. It sounded interesting, and I figured it could help me be a better manager or just a better coworker in general. So, I started looking for some good books on the subject.
First, I did some searching online to see what people recommended. I just typed in “best books on organizational psychology” and a bunch of lists popped up. It was a bit overwhelming, to be honest.
Then I narrowed it down by looking for books that were mentioned multiple times on different websites. I figured those were probably the most popular and well-regarded ones. I also checked out some best-selling lists for organizational psychology ebooks to see what was trending.
After that, I started reading summaries and reviews of the books that caught my eye. I wanted to get a feel for the content and see if it was something I’d actually enjoy reading. Some of them sounded a bit too academic for my taste, while others seemed more practical and engaging.
- Powerful
- The Advantage
- Organisational Psychology
- Industrial Organizational Psychology
- Work and Organizational Psychology
I ended up picking a few books that seemed like a good mix of theory and real-world examples. I started with one called “Organisational Psychology” because it was described as an introduction. And it’s really a good one.
Now I’m working my way through the other books on my list. Some are definitely more challenging than others, but I’m learning a lot. It’s pretty cool to see how the concepts I’m reading about actually play out in my own workplace.
Finally, I implemented some strategies from these books, especially “Powerful”, to my team. We discussed team goals, improved our communication, and tried to create a more positive and productive work environment.
Overall, it’s been a pretty rewarding experience. I feel like I have a much better understanding of organizational psychology now, and I’m hoping to use that knowledge to make a positive impact on my team and my company. It is not easy, but it is worth to do.
