As a Personnel Psychologist you mainly focus on the individual relationship that an employee has with the organisation. When recruiting and selection new staff, you ensure the best possible 'person-job fit' (job analysis and evaluation, recruitment and selection). And during their career you contribute to maintaining this fit (learning and development, assessment and reward).
As an Orgnisational Psychologist you mainly focus on the individual employee as part of a broader social context. You are mainly concerned with understanding and influencing work behaviour and its underlying motives (motivation, power, resistance). You analyse risk factors at group level (e.g. team task, conflicts, leadership) and at organisational level (e.g. the organisational structure and its implicit consequences for organisational culture and work behaviour).
