Psychology Psychology Tips for the Employee - Psychology at Work, Psychological Motivating Factors, Theoretical Models, Attitudes Emotions and Moods, Personality Disorders
Author: David Miller

Psychology has always been a lot more than a university course. In fact, we use the techniques and theories of psychology in our day to day work. Sometimes, we do it subconsciously, through habit or conditioning. One of the most important parts of our life is work. We spend close to 8 hours a day on the job. When you consider the time spent on c... more »ommuting and sleep, work seems to envelop virtually everything we do. It is a serious business, because that is where we earn an income to buy essentials, like food, shelter, and clothing. At the same time, work is also the place where we meet different types of people. Many have met their future spouses and countless friends on the job. It is, therefore, very important to be able to adjust well to the workplace and all its challenges. This book is conceived as a simple guide on how employees can use the theories of psychology in their day to day lives. It is not meant to be a definitive discussion of the theories of psychology. In any case, it would take thousands of books to completely cover them. Instead, this books gives you, the reader, simple tips and insights that you can use to get on better with your colleagues. The other benefit is that, if you are a good colleague, then chances are, you will find it easier to progress in your career. The book is divided into nine chapters, which tackle specific theories in psychology and then try to apply them to the day to day situations in which various workers find themselves. This book can work for you at any level and any job. It does not matter whether you are a nurse, engineer, politician, miner, or a multitude of other things. The book is equally applicable to the top executives and the lowest people in the chain of command. Here is an overview of what you will find in the various chapters. Chapter one is an overview of why psychology is important for managing yourself and your work environment. Chapter two explores how psychology explains your motivation at work. Chapter three discusses some tips for crafting and configuring your job environment, using the principles of psychology. Chapter four summarizes the theoretical models that underpin workplace psychology and how they are relevant to your situation. Chapter five explores trust and safety issues in the workplace from a psychological point of view. Chapter six is concerned with the issues of emotions, perspectives, and attitudes in the workplace, as well as their impact on performance. Chapter seven highlights the negative impact of conceit and arrogance in your workplace. Chapter eight examines some personality disorders at work. Finally, the conclusion links it all together.
