Abstract
Summary: This paper presents the results from the sections of Dunnette's (1961) survey of one‐half of the Division 14 membership which solicited job description information. Results are summarized in terms of frequencies with which the respondents indicate that nineteen job descriptive categories make up an important part of their jobs. A factor analysis of the intercorrelations among these categories reveals five factors: (I) a general factor, psychological work in industry, (II) personnel administration, (III) test research, (IV) working with people, and (V) a factor labeled, variously, organizational analysis, morale measurement, or advising management.
