Organisational Psychology Research Group (OPRG)

Projects and Services

The OPRG undertakes research projects and services in many areas related to Organisational Psychology. The following projects represent significant advancement of knowledge that is informing practice and making significant impacts in both the business and the health care industries.

Leadership Development Project

The Leadership Development Project commenced in April 2004. The first stage of the project involved a major climate survey. The results of this survey informed the second stage of this project which involves the development of various programs, including leadership assessment, leadership development, performance management, mentoring and position descriptions. From a consulting perspective this project will be largely complete by the end of 2006, however, data collection and research will be ongoing.
