Previous predictions of changes in industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology have failed to materialize due to omissions in mainstream I/O psychology. Three of these deficiencies (ahistorical habits, failure to appreciate continuity, and implicit acceptance of a particular political–economic framework) are explored to examine I/O psychology's past and present and to better predict its future. These 3 characteristics are seen as pathologies in I/O psychology, and their consequences for predictions are regarded as symptoms of the pathology. The analysis suggests that the future will be more like the present than is currently assumed and that I/O psychologists need to better understand the position of their field in history, the historical context of organizational evolution, and the ongoing political economy.

Continuity and change in industrial/organizational psychology: Learning from previous mistakes
Abstract
Previous predictions of changes in industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology have failed to materialize due to omissions in mainstream I/O psychology. Three of these deficiencies (ahistorical habits, failure to appreciate continuity, and implicit acceptance of a particular political–economic framework) are explored to examine I/O psychology's past and present and to better predict its future. These 3 characteristics are seen as pathologies in I/O psychology, and their consequences for predictions are regarded as symptoms of the pathology. The analysis suggests that the future will be more like the present than is currently assumed and that I/O psychologists need to better understand the position of their field in history, the historical context of organizational evolution, and the ongoing political economy.
