Abstract
This article examines the applicability of some fundamental studies in industrial/organisational psychology to work systems in Nigeria, through a systematic review of relevant literature. This article partly reveals the suitability of some fundamental studies in industrial/organisational psychology for an understanding of work designs in some organisations in the private and public sectors of the Nigerian economy. Also, this article shows the need to exercice some cautions in applying foreign ideas in industrial/organisational psychology to the Nigerian work environment. In conclusion, it is possible to
accept or reject foreign knowledge of industrial/organisational psychology in dealing with different aspects of work designs and human resource management practices in the private and public sectors of the Nigerian economy.
