TY - JOUR AU - Erez, Miriam AB - This first issue in volume 49 of Applied Psychology: An International Review, celebrates the dawn of the 21st century and the new millennium. These are times of change, of new hopes and expectations, and of new challenges for our science of Applied Psychology. To be sure, time is the creation of the human mind. If it were not created, the first day of the millenium would not have been so significant. Yet it provides an opportunity for us to stop and ``take stock'' of the progress that has been made, and the prospects we foresee for the future in the field of Psychology. As the millennium unfolds the science of psychology will continue expanding its horizons both deeper and broader. Diving into the depths of the human mind, free will, and action, and ascending to the heights of socio-cultural space, will lead to new understandings of human behaviour, its antecedents and consequences. Applied Psychology: An International Review is more oriented towards the latter, and is directed to the understanding of the interplay between the socio-cultural milieu and human behaviour. This first issue of the year 2000 is dedicated to our understanding of cross-cultural industrial and organisational psychology.
