Increasing Human Efficiency in Business / A Contribution to the Psychology of Business

One of the first books to bring psychology to bear on work. Walter Dill Scott examines attention, habit, imitation, and motivation, and shows how understanding the mind can make a person, and a business, dramatically more effective. Clear and practical, it helped launch the field of industrial psychology. A grounded, still-useful classic for anyone who wants to work with human nature rather than against it, in themselves and in others.
