This book provides a history of the origins of
industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology, focusing on the late
nineteenth century and early twentieth centuries. Taking an
international perspective, The Early Years of
Industrial-Organizational Psychology examines the context in which
the field emerged, and its origins in the measurement of individual
differences. Andrew J. Vinchur covers the initial applications of
psychology in advertising, the study of fatigue, and especially
employee selection, as well as the role industrial psychology
played in World War I and the post-war expansion of the field. He
also examines the education of industrial psychologists, their
efforts to establish industrial psychology as a profession, and the
beginnings of the organizational side of the field.
