I agree that there is plenty of nonsense out there. There are many interventions veiled as "scientific", and most people don't have the ability to lift the veil and recognize the pseudoscience beneath.
Unfortunately, the answer to your question is, partly, no. Psychology has not inoculated the world from pseudoscience. However, the answer to your question is also, partly, yes. There are people who have learned from the most robust evidence in psychology.
To the extent that organization and management adapt to robust findings in psychology, there are many contributions that psychology has made to organization and management.
More broadly, you could look for good resources for Evidence-Based Management.
Thanks!
CBT and mindfulness have been great for me, actually, but there's no way a workplace would invest as much time as it took, except maybe through a benefits program. That's kind of where I go with a lot of these - it's far cheaper to just do a cargo cult version. If you say there's evidence to the contrary, though, I'll take your word for it.
