Extract

Hugo Munsterberg, the father of our field, created the structure of our applied psychology theory in his Psychology and Industrial Efficiency (1913). His three research questions were (a) “How we can find the men whose mental qualities make them best fitted for work which they do?” (b) “Under what psychological conditions we can secure the greatest and most satisfactory output of work from every man?” (c) “How we can produce most completely the influences of human minds which are desired in the interest of business?”
