The Eternal Criterion Problem in the Context of Impact

Edward L. Levine

Industrial and Organizational Psychology, 2017, vol. 10, issue 4, 588-594

Abstract: The focal article by Aguinis et al. (2017) offers a rich brew of data and explication regarding the devilishly complicated concept of impact of sources (both science-based and practice-based), of industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology articles, and of authors of articles in the discipline of I-O psychology. The criteria developed to assess the impact of these are simple frequency counts indexing the number of times items within each domain are cited by leading introductory I-O psychology textbooks, which in turn leads to ranked lists. These are then used as a basis for answering numerous highly significant questions about the discipline of I-O psychology, including its scholarly and practice-based underpinnings, and the future prospects of the field.
