espanolEl articulo quiere contribuir a la historia del conocimiento psicologico en la industria en Colombia. Con ese proposito es analizada la implementacion de las primeras pruebas psicotecnicas con fines de seleccion de personal por parte de Mercedes Rodrigo (1891-1982), la difusion de las teorias sobre lo humano en la industria por parte de Cesar de Madariaga (1891-1961) y la circulacion y la apropiacion de la psicotecnica entre las decadas de 1960 y 1980. Argumentamos que, asi como en otros paises, la psicotecnia devino en Colombia un dispositivo de deteccion de aptitudes laborales y un nuevo imperativo cientifico para la busqueda de la productividad en las industrias del pais. De igual forma mostramos que la reduccion de la accidentalidad o la busqueda del bienestar individual del trabajo no fueron el motivo principal de su implementacion en Colombia, por el contrario, terminaron siendo un instrumento para enfrentar los problemas de disciplina y productividad y una tecnica de modelamiento de los hombres y de adaptacion profesional en un contexto de auge de la politica de sustitucion de importaciones. EnglishThe aim of this article was to contribute to the history of psychological knowledge in the industry in Colombia. For this purpose, an analysis was conducted of the implementation of the first psychotechnical tests for personnel selection purposes by Mercedes Rodrigo (1891-1982), the diffusion of theories about humans in industry by Cesar de Madariaga (1891-1961), and the circulation and appropriation of psychotechnics between the 1960s and 1980s are analyzed. We argue that, as in other countries, psychotechnics became a device in Colombia to detect labor aptitudes and a new scientific imperative in the search for productivity in the country’s industries. We also show that a reduction in accidents and the promotion of individual well-being at work were not the main reasons for their implementation in Colombia. On the contrary, they ended up being an instrument to overcome problems of discipline and productivity anda technique for the modelling of men and for occupational adaptations in the context of a surge in import substitution policies.
