I am Rashmi, pursuing my final year of MBA. I need to do a project, so I am seeking suggestions from you all on which topic I can choose for my internship and which company would be suitable for it. However, based on my interest, I would like to focus on the topic of "industrial psychology."

Please help me out.

Thank you.

If your college has assigned you a special topic, your job is now more challenging as not every company may allow you to do an internship on that specific topic. The initial task of finding a company can be daunting. However, if you have a genuine interest in the topic, you can select any creative topic, not necessarily psychology. I have a simple and straightforward suggestion: "Employee's First Job in His Career." Best of luck in your career.

I appreciate your idea for proceeding with a project on "Industrial Psychology." It would be prudent if you could address all aspects of an industry, and studying industrial psychology should focus on understanding the psychological aspects of personnel at various grades and hierarchical levels. Industrial psychology vividly allows you to understand how an employee feels about his/her organization and aligns the role play with his/her job description. Through this process, he/she comprehends how colleagues, peers, subordinates, and superiors interact in pursuit of organizational goals. Team building and group dynamics are crucial aspects that need understanding, along with managerial competencies, a people-oriented organizational culture, value system, alignment of self-vision and goals with company vision and goals, and fulfilling one's responsibilities to actualize the company's mission.

At a micro-level, i.e., at the individual employee level, we can explore motivational schemes, reward and recognition, performance management, interpersonal communication systems, knowledge forums, various policies concerning commitment, system, and culture building within the organization. You can interact with contract labor or delve deep into manpower planning, statutory obligations, compliance with ISO standards, etc. In essence, the scope of Industrial Psychology is vast, and one can develop as a hardcore HR professional by objectively learning the aforementioned aspects. In my view, people management through the study of people's psychology is at the core of this field, representing a rare and essential factor of production that requires special skills to understand. Drawing inferences from your study will provide clarity for your project. Framing questionnaires is not only easy but also interesting in this context.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
