Psychological Perspectives on Work & Organisations Course Psychology as a body of knowledge is used by a large proportion of industrial, business & commercial organisations in the private sector & also many areas of the public sector. The application of psychology in organisations can range from situations where large overall programmes are in place to smaller departmental initiatives where psychological techniques, such as aids to selection & promotion procedures, are used. Within the discipline of psychology, personality is a field of study rather than a particular aspect of the individual. No other area of psychology covers as much ground as the field of personality, which overlaps extensively with neighbouring areas. Many theories support our current understanding of personality. In this session, you examine five broad theoretical areas. Theorists conceptualise personality in a variety of different ways & it is important for you to appreciate these in order that you can find ways that you think about yourself & others. Theories provide an orientation & perspective that stimulate different types of research. They also lead to different approaches for assessing personality, testing & to thinking about people in organisations. Trait & biological theories have provided the basis for many modern psychometric tests for personality in organisations. Perception is another field of study within psychology. This overlaps with personality. We examine the processes involved in perception & the importance of social perception in organisations. Characteristics of individuals explained by personality theories can be used in selection procedures & in post-selection situations (promotion & appraisal) Ensuring the right people are selected for organisations is vital to their success, therefore you will examine approaches to selection processes & associated methods that can be used to aid rational selection of candidates for jobs in organisations. The approaches to selection are linked to general & psychometric testing, & we pay particular attention to the rationale for tests in areas of personality & intelligence. At the end of this course, you should be able to: explain & describe five theoretical approaches to personality. give examples of a range of different types of personality traits which may be exhibited by individuals. outline the processes involved in perception. explain the importance of social perception in organisations. describe why it is important to assess certain personality traits for the work place. explain the organisational processes involved in selecting an interview candidate for employment. use & describe methods for the rational selection of interview candidates for employment. demonstrate familiarity with certain

Dimensions of personality & how they may be quantified. explain & describe a range of tests & testing procedures employed in organisations & the selection of suitable candidates for employment & clinical evaluations.

Psychology A Level About A  Levels A levels are subject-specific qualifications normally studied after GCSEs or International GCSEs, though they are appropriate at any age to gain a qualification in a subject in which you are interested. The qualification is made up of two levels: the AS level & the A2 level. The AS level is the first half of a full A level & is a qualification on its own. The A2 level builds on the knowledge gained from both the AS level, as well as the GCSE level. Both the AS & A2 levels & examinations must be successfully completed to gain a full A level. Students usually take 1 year to complete the AS & a further year to complete the A2
- so a full A level usually takes two years. This fast track A level, however, lets you complete the course in half the time (i.e. one year instead of two years). The fast track A level works in exactly the same way & you get the same certificate as you would on the two-year course. A levels are highly valued by schools, colleges & employers. They are at level 3 on the National Qualifications Framework & they carry UCAS points, which will be awarded according to the grade achieved (A = 120, B = 100, C = 80). Many courses at university or college will require you to take A levels in certain subjects. We recommend you check the requirements for those courses & take the appropriate subject A levels. About Our A Level Psychology Course The course aims to give you some fundamental & lasting insights into behaviour & thought processes which will help you cope with the challenges of life, both for yourself & those you come into contact with. As well as learning about behaviour & thought processes you will also learn how to express yourself coherently, how to challenge & evaluate information presented to you & how scientific information is produced. Psychology is a dynamic, ever changing subject with new information & studies constantly confirming or challenging existing theories & producing new ones. The subject matter of psychology is uniquely around & within you; it is essential that you are curious about the why’s & how’s of behaviour & thought processes in all settings from cradle to grave, from successful relationships (parent-child, work colleagues or romantic) to the best ways to utilize your memory. What Can I Do After Completing This A Level in Psychology? Getting A levels can provide you with a variety of options, such as work, further study or an apprenticeship. After successful completion of this course, you could apply to university, a BTEC Higher National, NVQ, a BTEC Apprenticeship or a mixture of these qualifications.
