中国劳动心理学概况

列宁称为“資产阶級剝削底最巧妙的殘酷手段”和“最丰富的科学成就”的太罗制,关于它的主要著作的中譯本在1916年出版以后,資本主义国家的“应用心理学”、“工业心理学”陆續被介紹到我国来。这类介紹性的文章在1934—1936年的一段时間內数量最多。一部分心理学者抱着“工业救国”的心腸(这是民族資产阶級的立場)提倡“工业心理学”以为它对发展工业会有所帮助。另一部分人則有意識地企图用它为官僚資本剝削和     

INDUSTRIAL PSYCHOLOGY IN FRANCE

The current status of French industrial psychology is evaluated. Within the social and economic context of contemporary France, varying ideologies and scarce resources have created a gap between applied and academic industrial psychology. Personnel practices and systems and organizational research are noted.     

技能訓練的几个問題

自从1958年以来,我們对工业生产中的技工培訓、創造革新和改进操作方法等問題进行了一些調查訪問和研究工作,涉及不同性貭的企业和不同工种,遇到了不少心理学問題。技能問題是其中之一。技工培訓的主要內容当然是技能訓练問題,而操作方法、劳动組織、劳动工具的任何改进,对于技能的掌握、改造和提高也都会发生一定影响,它們間接地联系到技能訓练問題。本文仅就我們所遇到的有关技能訓练的几个主要問題談談我們的做法和看法。     

中国劳动心理学三十年

一 西方的工业心理学从本世纪初开始被介绍到中国来,在30年代中期,有关这类文章的介绍为数渐多,同时也有些心理学家从事过为数不多的研究。但由于当时西方的工业心理学既不为厂主所重视,更不受工人群众的欢迎,所以长期以来,工业心理学没有在中国的土壤里生根发芽。     

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY HAZARD REDUCTION THROUGH PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK

A “feedback package” system, designed to prevent occupational accidents and to fit directly into the normal operations of an industrial organization, was analyzed. Eighteen hazardous conditions in six production departments were assessed during seven observation sessions over a 12-week period, plus four follow-up observations over 4 months. The “feedback package” was presented in multiple baseline fashion, across subjects (department supervisors). It consisted of presenting the supervisor with copies of observational data, accompanied by a note which congratulated good practices and suggested ways for improving safety conditions, along with occasional comments from a senior executive. The results indicated that during the feedback phase, hazard rates were lower and less variable than during the baseline phase. Baseline data were highly variable with peaks ranging from 20 to 55 hazards per department. Following intervention, hazard frequencies dropped by 60%, averaged across departments, with decreases ranging from 29% to 88%. During treatment, data stabilized, with the highest frequency reaching 33. A modified feedback system was implemented by the organization following termination of the study, validating the assumption that such a system would tend to maintain.     

BIORHYTHMIC CYCLES AND THE INCIDENCE OF INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS

The biorhythm theory of accident explanation that has been increasingly popularized in the business press was empirically examined. The data set consisted of municipal employees adjudged to be at fault in 150 work-related vehicular accidents, and municipal employees involved in 210 on-the-job accidents resulting in workmen's compensation claims. Each accident case was analyzed to determine whether or not the accident occurred on a biorhythmically critical day. The results showed no systematic relationship between critical days and accident occurrences for these data groups. The data were also systematically evaluated for the existence of non-biorhythmic cycles. The results of this analysis showed that no useful level of association existed for any cycle. It was concluded that, while other groups or events may exhibit measurable cyclical patterns, it seems likely that the relationships are more complex than a simple association such as that posited on the basis of biorhythm theory.
