As the academic and research activities of South African industrial psychologists escalated during the mid-seventies, the establishment of a local journal became imperative. The journal was founded in 1975 by Professor I van W Raubenheimer (former Head of the Department of Industrial Psychology at the University of Stellenbosch) and a group of fellow lecturers. The original title of the journal was 'Perspectives in Industrial Psychology/Perspektiewe in Bedryfsielkunde'. In 1985 the journal was accredited and the title was changed to 'SA Journal for Industrial Psychology/SA Tydskrif vir Bedryfsielkunde'.

The mission of the journal is to publish research in all the areas of specialisation in the field of Industrial Psychology in South Africa.

The aim of the journal is to function as an independent publication medium, responsible for distributing information on theoretical, empirical and applied work carried out in the field of Industrial Psychology. The journal is a non-political, non-ideological publication, aiming for the widest possible readership. No preference is expressed in favour of a particular viewpoint, language or scientific orientation. The journal is not a mouthpiece of any pressure or interest group and is financially independent.

The Journal of Industrial Psychology publishes 2 issues per year. Manuscripts are published on a rolling basis throughout the year, i.e. as soon as they are ready for publication. Once a year a hard copy issue is compiled and available to be purchased, at a cost.

Its abbreviated title is SA j. ind. Psychol., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.
