    The Industrial and Organizational Psychology is defined as "the
    branch of psychology that makes use of psychological theories
    and principles to organizations." It is abbreviated as I/O
    Psychology. The main area of concern of an I-O psychologist is

    evaluation of companies, studying the attitudes and behavior of
    the workers employed in the companies.

    of psychology, both of which focus on entirely different
    perspectives however they are not very different from each
