Abstract |
Several approaches to the problem of how psychological science can be applied in industry are given in answer to the problem as it was raised by McQuitty (see 22: 1987). (1) More than one introductory semester of psychology be included in the curricula of business or industrial management and organization. (2) Courses related to factory organization and management should be open to graduate students in psychology. (3) Able students who had first-hand experience should be furthered and encouraged in this field. (4) Graduate students be urged to secure at least summer employment to acquaint themselves with the personnel, the processes, and the social atmosphere of industry. (5) Preface the post doctoral internship with a baptism of productive factory employment. Attention is called to some psychologists who served with distinction in the armed forces accepting any available assignments. "Their younger colleagues can if they choose do as much for the nation's peacetime economy." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved) |
