Review of Job analysis and the curriculum

Abstract

Reviews the book, Job analysis and the curriculum by Strong and Uhrbrock (1923). Messrs. Strong and Uhrbrock set before themselves the task of the actual field study of the functions of the executives m the commercial printing industry. Consequently we find in the book chapters dealing with such subjects as the following: job analysis, job specification, the construction of a curriculum based on job analysis, and a bibliography of job analysis material. The content of the book is a valuable contribution to the much needed experimental work in personnel problems. Not only the authors and the psychologists in the Carnegie Institute of Technology but also the editors of the Personnel Research Series should be commended for the type of work that they all made possible to appear. It is only to be regretted that more of such studies have not appeared up-to-date but we look with confidence to the future. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
