EMPLOYMENT PSYCHOLOGY DEFINED 
21 
psychology or the field of employment is limited to the 
mere act of hiring or rejecting applicants. This notion 
of employment work is rapidly becoming obsolete. To 
day, the training of new employees, keeping accurate 
records of their activities, transferring them when ad 
visable, devising methods of promotion, are all phases 
of the employment problem. The first half of this book 
deals particularly with the application of psychology to 
the selection of employees; the latter half deals with its 
application to these other important phases.
