Could you provide some background information on how you came into contact with these theories? What do you already know/where does the confusion stem from?

# Comparison between IO psychology, Arbeitspsychologie and Psychologie du travail et des organisations

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-04-09)

Reading the Wikipedia pages on [IO Psychology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_and_organizational_psychology), [Arbeitspsychologie](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbeitspsychologie) and [Psychologie du travail et des organisations](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychologie_du_travail_et_des_organisations) you can see many differences on the topics and authors of the fields.

At a first sight, this is strongly opinion-based, it looks like in France it is given more importance to suicides at work, while Germany studies a lot of workplace health promotion, while US is more focused on productivity. Is that correct?

What are the common and different things between theories in US, German and French, IO Psychologies?

Is there a textbook or an article that draws the comparison?
