Abstract

Action regulation theory is a psychological theory in which action is understood as a process covering not only the planning but also the concrete execution of actions. The theory was developed in the field of industrial psychology. Against the background of four basic concepts, formulated as 'theses' and further elucidated, the psychological analysis instrument known as 'VERA' is presented. It was designed for industrial work and subsequently modified into a form suitable for office work. The uses and limits of VERA are discussed. In conclusion, consideration is given to the significance of psychological methods and measures to current developments in work - with particular reference to attempts to render work more human.
