Abstract

Industrial psychological research has generally been oriented with respect to the interests of management. As a consequence certain areas are not open to research. There is a need for a social approach to industrial psychological problems by psychologists searching for solutions to basic problems. Several approaches of this nature have been made but they are only indications of what might be accomplished if psychologists would turn their efforts to a study of such problems. A promising and valuable type of research which has been almost completely ignored is the broad-gauge attitude and opinion studies bearing on labor relations. There are many urgent questions which such studies would answer. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
