We advocate Workplace Psychology applications and research in and beyond Hong Kong

The Division of Industrial-Organizational Psychology (DIOP) was established in May 2000 under the Hong Kong Psychological Society (HKPS). We have 5 key objectives in advocating Workplace (I-O) Psychology in and beyond Hong Kong:
1) To define, develop, maintain standards and competence in I-O Psychology
2) To promote the identity, cohesion, professional status and recognition of I-O Psychologists
3) To promote I-O Psychology to the public, the industry, and the potential service recipients
4) To promote effectiveness and health in organizations and individuals
5) To develop indigenous I-O Psychology research and practice

A huge thank you to the ~30 HKPS members and HR leaders who packed the room at the HKPS Office for Global Leadership Effectiveness: Exploring the Leaders We Have vs. the Leaders We Want earlier this week! 💡 We were so lucky to have Krista Pederson and Nicole Dickie from Hogan Assessments share game-changing insights on what followers truly value in their leaders—and how we can bridge the gap between candidate selection and real-world team engagement. 🎯

The energy in the room was incredible as we dove into why it’s time to rethink traditional leader selection. 🔄 Instead of relying on gut feeling or tenure, top-performing organizations are now bringing the follower’s voice directly into succession planning. By leveraging personality data, 360 feedback, and learning agility, we can identify authentic leaders who inspire real trust. ✨

At the end of the day, when we cultivate humble, confident leaders who stay open to feedback and make data-backed decisions, magic happens—teams thrive, engagement skyrockets, and talent stays! 🚀

🌱 Industrial-Organizational Psychologists (IOPs) in the Community

At the recently concluded Psychology & Mental Health Fair 2026, Wendy Li and Grace P**n proudly represented DIOP at the “Meet Professional Psychologists (I/O)” session 🗣️ and engaged in meaningful exchanges with attendees interested in learning about the work of psychologists.

💡 What do Industrial-Organizational Psychologists (IOPs) do?

🔹 Utilize psychological expertise, assessment tools, and evidence-based methodologies, coupled with business knowledge, to offer professional consultation and guidance covering everything from person-job fit to excellent leadership.

🔹 Foster the growth and development of organizations, teams, and individuals through motivation, self-understanding, group dynamics, and deeper human insight 🌱

🔹 Embed diversity & inclusion into workplace cultures 🤝, providing the "nourishment" needed for long-term growth and well-being.

✨ By doing so, IOPs lay an intangible yet vital foundation for mental health and well-being in the modern workplace.

We look forward to connecting and exchanging more practical insights and innovative ideas with you at the next community event! 💬 See you next time! 👋
