Abstract
Some of the early contributors to the development of industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology are reviewed, and their conceptions of the field are compared with contemporary ideas. Although research methods have become far more sophisticated, the broad divisions of the discipline remain unchanged: They involve selection, training, job performance, satisfaction, mental health, and social influences on work. Strictly organizational issues developed relatively late in the century. Two major trends in I/O psychology are identified and contrasted: quantitative and humanist perspectives. It is suggested that current practice overemphasizes the quantitative and at times ignores the humanistic consequences of I/O interventions. (37 ref)Preview Only.
