Work & Career: Where psychology has made its mark
A growing body of research suggests that many service companies, including retailers, call centers, and security firms, can reduce costs and make better hires by using short, web-based psychometric tests as the first screening step.

Here you will find a collection of leading academic articles on work & career in relation to personality.
For the sake of accessibility, we have added introductions from popular media to these articles.
