Autorenporträt

Robert M. Guion is the father of the IO field. Bob received his PhD from Purdue University in 1952 (under C. H. Lawshe). He has taught at UC Berkeley and mostly Bowling Green all his life. He is the father of the EEOC (equal employment act) adopted in our country in 1968. His longstanding belief is that those who study organizational environments, leadership and aspects of work motivation all must pay greater heed to competence in measurement if they are to work toward the development of a fundamental, generalizable science that will promote human welfare at work.
