Abstract
Work and Organizational Psychology (WOP) should consider the amalgam of values, organizational and legal arrangements, economic blocs, languages, and peoples of Latin America. In addition, it is necessary to seek the development and validation of universal frames of reference that make generalization possible in Latin America and in other regions. How far away from that is WOP in Latin America? How does it resemble those psychologies that originated in the United States and Europe in terms of historical, social, political, and economic reasons? To answer the above questions is the aim of the chapter, based on the information collected from more than 110 texts found in 14 Latin American countries. The information is organized in terms of history, application, and professional training and the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge in WOP. At the end, the challenges for research, teaching, and practice are presented.
