Organizational development (OD) is a field of study that focuses on assisting organisations in changing and improving. Both the social and behavioural sciences are used to support OD theory and practise. The field began in the 1960s and has continued to evolve since then. Social psychology, group dynamics, industrial-organizational psychology, participatory management theory, organisational behaviour, the sociology of organisations, and even clinical psychology have all influenced this progression.

An industrial psychologist would be hired by a company to determine how efficient, productive, and profitable the company is, as well as to aid with issues such as corporate culture and structural modifications.
