O PAPEL DO PSICÓLOGO NAS ORGANIZAÇÕES

Abstract

This paper looks into the role of a psychologist within an organisation from the perspective of their holding a strategic position in the company. It seeks to highlight what their greatest challenge is as well as their importance within a company. The present study is relevant due to the increasing number of psychologists making their way into all sorts of organisations and the necessity of addressing the role of the in-company psychologist as having a tactical purpose. The ultimate goal of this study is to examine important aspects of the contribution of an in-company psychologist as having a tactical function, in addition to analysing the role of Psychology as a great ally of success in business management. These objectives have been met through bibliographical review of several scholars who have balanced administrative concepts, personnel management and In-Company Psychology. At the end of this study, it has been observed that In-Company Psychology has been increasingly gaining significance and paving the way for new practices, thus giving its contribution to improving the well-being of people at the workplace and, consequently, facilitating processes and results within organisations.
