    Congratulations to the incoming SIOP President, Dr. James Outtz!

    The SDOS (Social, Organizational, and Decision Sciences) program in the Department of Psychology is extremely pleased to announce that one of our Ph.D. graduates, Dr. James Outtz, has just been elected president of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP). Jim received his Ph.D. in industrial and organizational psychology in 1976. He is a fellow in SIOP, APA, and the American Educational Research Association and was a consulting editor of the Journal of Applied Psychology.

    Jim is president of Outtz and Associates. His work focuses on developing valid employment-selection systems that enhance opportunities for workforce diversity and the inclusion of minorities and women. He has published, researched, and focused his practice on identifying valid alternatives for selection that reduce barriers to equal employment opportunity. As an expert retained to advise courts and as an expert witness in complex, large-scale employment litigation, his objective has been to ensure that I-O psychology plays a significant role in influencing policy with regard to fair employment practices.



    Newsletters
