Some applied psychological research is indeed contemporaneous with human capital trends. Consider the rise of participative management (1963–1972) and the widespread use of management by objectives (MBO; 1973–1982). Research on leadership (directly related to the use of participative management) was a popular theme in PPsych in 1963–1972 and also in 1973–1982. It was a key theme in JAP from 1973 to 1982. Not surprisingly, performance appraisal–feedback (closely related to MBO) was a key theme both in JAP and PPsych in 1973–1982 and in every time period subsequently. Perhaps this was driven also by the rise in 360° feedback, which began in 1983–1992.
