Job performanceJob performance assesses whether a person performs a job well. Job performance, studied academically as part of industrial and organizational psychology, also forms a part of human resources management. Performance is an important criterion for organizational outcomes and success. John P. Campbell describes job performance as an individual-level variable, or something a single person does. This differentiates it from more encompassing constructs such as organizational performance or national performance, which are higher-level variables.
Team buildingLe team building, en français renforcement d'équipe ou consolidation d’équipe, est une méthode qui est apparue aux États-Unis au début des années 1980 et dont l'objectif est le resserrement des liens sociaux au sein d’un groupe de personnes appartenant à une entreprise ou à une institution. Le concept a connu un réel essor à partir des années 1990, dans un contexte socioculturel où le travail d’équipe est valorisé par la culture d’entreprise.
Psychologie du travail et des organisationsLa psychologie du travail et des organisations est une branche de la psychologie qui s'intéresse aux phénomènes psychiques et aux comportements des individus au travail. Plus concrètement, la psychologie du travail se préoccupe de questions telles que la santé et le bien-être au travail, l'accompagnement professionnel des salariés ainsi que les nouvelles formes de travail et nouveaux modèles d'activité apparus à la suite d'évolutions sociétales récentes.
Gestion des ressources humainesLa gestion des ressources humaines ou GRH (parfois appelée gestion du capital humain), est l'ensemble des pratiques mises en œuvre pour administrer, mobiliser et développer les ressources humaines impliquées dans l'activité d'une organisation. Ces ressources humaines sont l'ensemble des salariés de tous statuts (ouvriers, employés, cadres) faisant partie de l'organisation, mais aussi – et de plus en plus – liés à elle par des rapports de sujétion (ainsi, les prestataires extérieurs, ou sous-traitants, sont considérés comme faisant partie de fait du périmètre des ressources humaines de l'entreprise).
Personnel selectionPersonnel selection is the methodical process used to hire (or, less commonly, promote) individuals. Although the term can apply to all aspects of the process (recruitment, selection, hiring, onboarding, acculturation, etc.) the most common meaning focuses on the selection of workers. In this respect, selected prospects are separated from rejected applicants with the intention of choosing the person who will be the most successful and make the most valuable contributions to the organization.
Organizational commitmentIn organizational behavior and industrial and organizational psychology, organizational commitment is an individual's psychological attachment to the organization. Organizational scientists have also developed many nuanced definitions of organizational commitment, and numerous scales to measure them. Exemplary of this work is Meyer and Allen's model of commitment, which was developed to integrate numerous definitions of commitment that had been proliferated in the literature.
Personnel psychologyPersonnel psychology is a subfield of industrial and organizational psychology. Personnel psychology is the area of industrial/organizational psychology that primarily deals with the recruitment, selection and evaluation of personnel, and with other job aspects such as morale, job satisfaction, and relationships between managers and workers in the workplace.
OnboardingOnboarding or organizational socialization is the American term for the mechanism through which new employees acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and behaviors to become effective organizational members and insiders. In standard English, this is referred to as "induction". In the United States, up to 25% of workers are organizational newcomers engaged in onboarding process. Tactics used in this process include formal meetings, lectures, videos, printed materials, or computer-based orientations that outline the operations and culture of the organization that the employee is entering into.
Training and developmentTraining and development involve improving the effectiveness of organizations and the individuals and teams within them. Training may be viewed as related to immediate changes in organizational effectiveness via organized instruction, while development is related to the progress of longer-term organizational and employee goals. While training and development technically have differing definitions, the two are oftentimes used interchangeably and/or together.
Organization developmentOrganization development (OD) is the study and implementation of practices, systems, and techniques that affect organizational change. The goal of which is to modify a group's/organization's performance and/or culture. The organizational changes are typically initiated by the group's stakeholders. OD emerged from human relations studies in the 1930s, during which psychologists realized that organizational structures and processes influence worker behavior and motivation.
