Review of Personnel relations in industry

Abstract

Reviews the book, Personnel relations in industry by A. M. Simons (1921). This book enumerates the problems of personnel administration usually treated by books upon the subject, and discusses them with adequate expertness and clear. The psychologist-reader will be gratified, on perusing the thirty or forty pages devoted to the contributions which psychology can make to the field, to find that the author has sought the correct sources for most of his psychologizing, and has tapped them discriminatingly. The pages also smack of the class-room, by reason of a noticeable outline method of presentation--the book grew out of the author's Extension Lecturership in the University of Wisconsin--but this, while detracting from the smoothness of style, will be regarded as a pedagogical asset by those who use the book as a class text.
