Abstract
Argues that the issue of increasing productivity in the use of human resources while providing equality of opportunity to minorities and women will be a major concern of industrial/organizational (I/O) psychologists in the 1980's. A primary short-term goal of I/O psychology must be to change which are inconsistent with current research knowledge and professional practice. I/O psychology will increase its use of cognitive ability tests and job simulations for selection and promotion. However, this renewed interest in cognitive ability tests may also force the use of quotas or different cutoffs until the differences between groups on cognitive ability tests decline or disappear. It is hoped that organizations will make long-range personnel decisions that will have a significant impact on I/O psychology in performance appraisal and career management areas.
