Review of Psychology of human relations for executives

Abstract

Reviews the book, Psychology of human relations for executives by J. L. Rosenstein (1936). The book is directed to executives as its name implies and deals with psychological materials in a simplified terminology and with a distinct clinical bias. The first third of the book presents some of the general facts of psychology, especially those dealing with maladjustments. The discussion then turns more specifically to industrial problems, such as discipline and motivation. Interesting illustrative material occurs from time to time especially in connection with morale. There is no bibliography and only a very few references to other published material. The book is all right as far as it goes and the reviewer discovered no fallacies, but is written from a limited point of view. The executive who reads it will receive a one-sided impression of industrial psychology. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
