Industrial-organizational psychologists visit businesses to provide direct counseling to employees as well as consulting services for management. They analyze issues that affect productivity, profits, and worker attitudes, and devise strategies on how to improve them. A person who wants to become an industrial-organizational psychologist is usually required to obtain at least a master's degree in the specialty from an accredited university. Previous experience in business and counseling settings can be very helpful in landing a job with a consulting firm, large corporation, or government office.
