Abstract

ABSTRACT This article examines the advent of industrial psychology in China in the 1930s, asking how it was that this science of work that had been conceived to meet the challenges of industrial society and industrial production came to be taken up in an economy that had, in this period, a small industrial sector. Through this history, which includes a close look at the first industrial psychology study in China, this article shows how workers and workplaces became subjects of systematic study, and the extent and limits of industrial reforms by industrial psychologists who peddled the promise of small changes adding up to large effects.

期刊介绍： History and Technology serves as an international forum for research on technology in history. A guiding premise is that technology—as knowledge, practice, and material resource—has been a key site for constituting the human experience. In the modern era, it becomes central to our understanding of the making and transformation of societies and cultures, on a local or transnational scale. The journal welcomes historical contributions on any aspect of technology but encourages research that addresses this wider frame through commensurate analytic and critical approaches.
