Resumen El interes de los profesionales de la psicologia en la Espana del primer tercio del siglo XX por cuestiones de reforma economica y social hizo que la psicologia industrial irrumpiera en Espana con gran fuerza. En Estados Unidos, una gran parte de los estudios realizados en este terreno se apoyaba en la Organizacion Cientifica del Trabajo, campo eminentemente empirico, aplicado y multidisciplinar derivado de las tesis de F.W. Taylor. La asuncion de las teorias tayloristas y de sus desarrollos, y su evolucion hacia posiciones psicosociales mas cercanas a la investigacion europea en ese campo, ofrece interesantes consecuencias en la literatura cientifica espanola de diversas disciplinas y muy especialmente en las realizaciones de los psicotecnicos. Profundizamos en la difusion de estas concepciones a traves de diversas instituciones y publicaciones, para acceder a un analisis mas detallado de su influencia en la produccion de los miembros de la Escuela madrilena de psicotecnia. Abstract The interest Spanish psychologists had during the first third of the 20th century towards the social and economic reform matters, provided a strong irruption of Industrial Psychology in Spain. In the United States, a great part of the research carried out in this field was based on Scientific Management, an empirical, applied, and multidisciplinar field derived from F.W. Taylor's conceptions. The adoption of Taylorism and its evolution on the way to a psychosocial position, closer to the European research, shows very interesting consequences on the Spanish scientific literature, especially on that of the psychotechnicians. We study the spreading of these over several institutions and publications in order to reach a more detailed knowledge of its influence on the members of the Psychotechnics School of Madrid.
