ABSTRACT
Industrial/organizational psychology, organizational behavior, and human resource management have been extended to policy / strategy, organization theory, and entrepreneurship, and to a great deal of ground between these fields of organizational science. Industrial psychology, personnel management, and organizational behavior have remained major areas of activity until the present. The psychology faculty there really did not care much for industrial psychology, but had to meet a substantial student demand; the idea of hiring someone who in their minds was really a personality theorist for this purpose had great appeal. Yet the course work in psychology was fascinating. The theories of hierarchic, professional, and task motivation underlying the data are in fact joined by a fourth theory dealing with group motivation. This is the type of motivation hypothesized to be needed to function effectively in autonomous or sociotechnical work groups, and voluntary groups.
