Considerations: This study allowed the expansion of knowledge about Organizational and Work Psychology (POT) contextualized in the new scenario of organizations and how psychology has been adapting to meet the demand of companies. The challenges of POT are still many and, although there is a great advance, it is up to professionals to broaden their knowledge in the area and expand their interests in updated ideas and new techniques, either through individual studies or specific courses. The work of the organizational psychologist coupled with the performance of other company professionals, when focused on a shared goal and clear distinctions of performance, allows to obtain considerable outcomes that influence not only the development of the organization, but also of all individuals entangled in the work context. . These results corroborate the importance of the organizational psychologist's role in the work environment and reinforce the need for further studies and research on this subject.
