Summary "Psychology and Industrial Efficiency" by Hugo Münsterberg is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the application of psychology to practical problems in economics and industry, aiming to establish a new branch of experimental psychology that directly benefits commercial and industrial endeavors. It discusses various psychological experiments related to workforce efficiency and vocational guidance, emphasizing the importance of understanding mental processes in the workplace. The opening of the work introduces the premise that applied psychology can effectively bridge the gap between theoretical psychology and practical life challenges in commerce and industry. Münsterberg outlines the slow evolution of experimental psychology toward practical applications and explains that for its developments to be truly beneficial, psychologists must engage closely with the specific demands of economic tasks. He claims that a systematic application of psychological principles can enhance workforce selection, training, and overall productivity. The text sets the stage for forthcoming discussions on the methodologies of psychological experimentation tailored for various industrial contexts, highlighting that current efforts are merely the beginnings of what is needed to achieve successful integration into economic life.
