I think you’re right. I also think that I/O psychology missed an opportunity when – during the years of low unemployment – many corporations shifted focus from selection to recruiting. That is, we missed opportunities to make a bigger impact on the recruiting process. I guess time will tell what the next 25 years will bring.

I agree, I/O Psychology has made some substantive contributions (but I’m not biased). I hope to see more emphasis in the next 25 years on the importance of fit. It seems that recently, and perhaps even more so during the recession, that fit has seemed to go out the window in favor of blanket policies and practices. We need to get back to the notion of fit, tailoring, customization, and the like to ensure that we maximize the effectiveness of workplace initiatives and business strategies.
