Applications of Holland's Theory in Industrial and Organizational Settings.
Muchinsky, Paul M.
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v55 n1 p127-35 Aug 1999
Contributions of Holland's theory to industrial/organizational psychology include the following: (1) person-environment congruence, a major influence in organizational behavior; (2) the notion that individuals should be self-directed participants in career exploration and the use of occupational information; and (3) use of vocational interest measures in cross-functional training and the formation of work teams.
