Abstract: Evolutionary industrial organizational psychology applies evolutionary theory to workplace dynamics. By considering challenges faced by human ancestors, and the resultant psychological adaptations, evolutionary approaches can enhance wellbeing, productivity, and inclusivity in work environments. This chapter offers practical strategies for legitimizing leadership, understanding gender differences, enhancing cooperation, and addressing conflict.
