Abstract

The impact of what is variously called industrial and organizational psychology (in the United States), work psychology (in Europe), and occupational psychology (in the United Kingdom) has been more evident in the area of assessment at work than perhaps in any other domain. There is good reason for this, because — quite apart from this being one of the most traditional areas of expertise in this field of applied psychology — the scientific evidence supporting the use of psychological assessment methods has been built up over decades and is overwhelmingly positive. This chapter will consider theories and methods advanced by Occupational Psychology (OP) in relation to selection, performance appraisal and identification of potential, and in doing so consider the research findings in support of them. This is a very broad field, one that covers a wide range of ideas and studies, and of necessity in a chapter of this length the review offered will be selective but hopefully also representative.
