The Psychology of Work in Europe: A Review of a Profession

Abstract

This review describes the contemporary scene of applied industrial and organizational psychology in Europe. After a historical introduction, the developments in six subject areas are reviewed: (1) Selection, (2) training, (3) ergonomics, (4) organizational psychology, (5) quality of working life, and (6) preservation of human resources. It is argued that there has been much differentiation and that there is a need for more integration. Psychologists perform several roles in organizations and in society. Some of the role conflicts are discussed.
