Journal of Personnel Psychology

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Personnel Psychology is a periodical dedicated to international research in psychology as it relates to the working environment and the people who “inhabit” it.

The journal welcomes excellent empirical and theoretical contributions to basic and applied research in personnel psychology and related methodology.

Reviews are also welcome.

Articles deal with all fields in personnel psychology, including selection, performance measurement, motivation, leadership, organizational commitment, personnel development and training, new test developments, and job analysis.

As many topics in personnel psychology are closely related to issues in other branches of psychology or, more generally, the social sciences and human resource management, the journal is open to contributions of an interdisciplinary nature.
