    Study Notes

    Ethical Principles in I/O Psychology Research

    • Ethical principles apply to every stage of research.
    • The Nuremberg Code (1947) was established after horrific experiments by the Nazi regime.
    • The Nuremberg Code emphasizes informed consent, avoiding unnecessary harm, and qualified researchers.
    • The Belmont Report (1979) outlines three core principles: respect for participants, beneficence (do no harm), and justice.
    • The APA Ethics Code (2017) includes five principles: beneficence and non-maleficence, fidelity and responsibility, integrity, justice, and respect for people's rights and dignity.

    The Institutional Review Board (IRB)

    • All research institutions must have an IRB.
    • The IRB assesses research proposals based on seven criteria: risk minimization, reasonable risk/benefit ratio, equitable selection, informed consent, documentation, data monitoring, and privacy/confidentiality.

    Procedural Integrity in Research

    • Procedural integrity focuses on research quality and integrity.
    • It encompasses issues like fabrication, data errors, fraud, and plagiarism.

    Challenges of Workplace Research

    • Informed consent in the workplace can be complex due to potential influence on participants' behavior.
    • The Hawthorne Effect highlights how observation can alter behavior.
    • Practical constraints in the workplace, such as resource limitations, interference with operations, and survey fatigue, impact I/O research.

    Ethical Considerations in Organizational Settings

    • Data sensitivity is a major factor, as I/O psychologists work with sensitive information like performance ratings and salary data.
    • Confidentiality can be compromised when managers demand employee information.
    • Researchers may face conflicting loyalties between organizations and individual employees.

    Conducting Research Within an Organization

    • Resources, time, and staffing limitations impact research within organizations.
    • Demonstrating tangible business benefits is crucial for getting research approval.
    • The focus often shifts from researcher interests to business needs, leading to practical research projects.
