Morris Simon Viteles (March 21, 1898 - December 7, 1996)[1] was an influential researcher and writer in the field of industrial and organizational psychology. His book Industrial Psychology, published in 1932, was the first comprehensive modern textbook in the field.[2] His writings were so influential that he was often regarded as the founder of the field, although he disavowed that claim.[3]
