SIOP is also separately incorporated as a non-profit organization. Its goal is to promote human welfare through the various applications of psychology to all types of organizations providing goods and services, such as manufacturing concerns, commercial enterprises, labor unions or trade associations, and public agencies. The purposes of the Society are scientific, professional, and educational, and not for financial gain. Society members benefit from exchange of professional developments and timely scientific information.
Subscriptions are free to all members and student affiliates.
Subscriptions are available for non-members by contacting the SIOP Administrative Office. It is preceded by a day of concurrent workshops providing in-depth treatment of current topics in the field. The Society sponsors symposia, papers, and special addresses at the APA annual convention. The Society sponsors two series of books. The Professional Practice Series is a similar series of books describing successful practice of I-O Psychology in various organizational settings.
