Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will explore the innovative methodologies that are transforming practice and research in organizational and sports psychology. As these disciplines evolve, new tools and approaches are emerging that allow for a deeper understanding of human behavior in workplace and sports contexts.
The Special Issue will address techniques such as social network analysis, big data evaluation, and performance tracking technologies, which provide valuable insights into team dynamics and individual motivation. Additionally, qualitative methods that enrich the interpretation of subjective experiences will be discussed, along with the integration of interdisciplinary approaches that combine psychology with sociology and neuroscience.
The Special Issue will also highlight the importance of ongoing professional development in these areas, emphasizing the need to adapt to a constantly changing environment. Through case studies and literature reviews, concrete examples will be presented elucidating how these new methodologies are being successfully implemented in organizations and sports teams, contributing to optimal performance and individual well-being.
In summary, we invite readers to reflect on the future of psychology in these fields, promoting a dialog about innovation and evidence-based practice.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
