Special edition into the future with industrial psychology as discipline and profession: challenges and responses

Abstract

Industrial Psychology is faced with changes on all fronts. The world of work is transforming; the expectations and needs of stakeholders are shifting; a new professional practice framework has come into force in South Africa; the competitive demands imposed on organisations are different; the global village has become a way of life; and a socio-political transformation, accompanied by the revision of labour legislation, has occurred in South Africa.
