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.  Today, ­
  the  training  of  new  employees,  keeping  accurate
records  of  their  activities,  transferring  them  when  advisable, ­
  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.
