SCHOSSLER, Ticiana; GRASSI, Vanise  and  JACQUES, Maria da Graça Corréa. Experiences and practices of psychologists who perform personnel selection activity. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2005, vol.5, n.2, pp. 141-166. ISSN 1984-6657.

This article aims at identifying experiences and practices of psychologists who perform personnel selection activity in their daily work, considering the actual field of work, marked by the unemployement and competition for the labor market. This is an exploratory research, conducted with ten female psychologists through semi structured interviews. The results were analyzed by content analysis, aiming at an understanding based on the theoretical framework of this research. Findings show that personnel selection modalities are diverse, with also different experiences and practices, including pleasure and suffering. It was also verified that although new methods and techniques are being applied to personnel selection, the objective of the selection process is to foreknow the adaptation degree of persons to position and organization, which is consonant with several guiding principles of psychology since its establishment as an independent discipline

Keywords : personnel selection; practice and experiences; work; organizational psychology.
