The Declaration of Identity is created by Barbara Kożusznik (University of Silesia, Poland) and Sharon Glazer (University of Baltimore, USA) and aims to create a foundation of who Industrial, Work, and Organizational Psychologists (IWOPs) are, who their stakeholders and clients are, and what they can contribute to organizations to ensure high performing and healthy workers.
The Declaration of Identity presents 10 statements organized around four major themes: communication, contextualization, dissemination, and integration.
IWOPs have evidenced-based views on unemployment, precarious work, fairness and equal opportunities in the workplace, selection, performance appraisal, occupational stress, health and well-being, counterproductive work behaviors, leadership, and followership, teamwork, telework, and many other work-related topic. We share, disseminate, and exchange these viewpoints with all relevant stakeholders.
We shall:
Actions to plan and implement:
As scientists and practitioners, we are getting more and more technical and advanced in our quest to understand people’s behavior. We have created a language of internal discourse that is not fully understood by others. In order to increase the effectiveness of communication we should tailor our language to reach our intended audience clearly and effectively.
We shall:
Actions to plan and implement:
IWOPs provide expert analyses and recommendations that enable politicians and policy-makers to deliberate and decide on matters related to human behavior, affect, and cognition in the workplace and work-related settings.

Actions to plan and implement:
IWOPs can demonstrate their abilities to tackle important humanitarian and social issues, such as poverty reduction, and be known as a discipline that can contribute to solving problems of social and global significance.
We shall:
Actions to plan and implement:
Identify decision-makers and lawmakers who lack evidence-based knowledge on the science of people, work, and organizations.
Approach sensitive or uncomfortable issues that would benefit from IWOP input.
Create infographics that clearly articulate IO-WOP competences.
Support humanitarian rights everywhere.
Innovations in science and practice feed off of each other. IWOPs are acutely aware of changing work contexts and conditions within varying social circumstances. With this information, IWOPs create change and improvements to working conditions, situations, and contexts, and are constantly in search for new ideas to improve work processes and experiences under many different circumstances. Through scientific methods IWOPs validate creations that are implemented and evaluate the utility of innovations to benefit the workplace, workers, and job seekers.
We shall:
Actions to plan and implement:
IWOPs advocate for worker, unemployed worker, and precarious worker well-being, and make sound business cases for company investment in their people and community. We present scientifically valid evidence to address worker and worker-eligible issues.
We shall:
Actions to plan and implement:
IWOPs' competencies are readily demonstrable in small-scale to large-scale changes, that make positive impact in the world of work.
We shall:
Actions to plan and implement:
One of the unique strengths of IWOP is that it is based on the science-practitioner model. According to the model, psychologists are to be trained to integrate science and practice, such that activities in one domain informs activities in the other domain.
We shall:
Actions to plan and implement:
IWOPs balance the well-being of the worker with the organization’s need for productivity, effectiveness, and innovation. We use scientific methods to derive valid research results and apply psychological principles to solve work place problems and reconcile the interests of organizations’ members with the interests of organizations.
