    Die opleiding van bedryfsielkundiges in Suid-Afrika
    (AOSIS OpenJournals, 1976-11) Raubenheimer, I. Van W.; Calitz, C. J.; De Villiers, W. S.; Augustyn, J. C. D.
    Oor die afgelope aantal jare het bedryfsielkundiges in Suid-Afrika by verskeie geleenthede die mening gelug dat die tyd waarskynlik aangebreek het om die ontwikkeling van hul vakgebied hier te lande in oƫnskou te neem. Hierdie behoefte het klaarblyklik ontstaan vanweƫ die snelle ontwikkeling wat die bedryfsielkunde die afgelope 10 tot 15 jaar in Suid-Afrika ondergaan het, vernaamlik in die praktiese beroeps- en bedryfslewe, aan akademiese instellings en in die beoefening van die bedryfsielkunde as 'n professie.

    (AOSIS OpenJournals, 1988-05) Augustyn, J. C. D.; De Villiers, W. S.
    From a study of the relevant literature it is clear that in general characteristics of sales representatives, and their personality profile in particular, have not been clearly identified. The objective of this study was to seek clarification of this issue. Two instruments were used in the investigation; namely, the South African Personality Questionnaire and the Thurstone Temperament Schedule. These instruments were administered to 45 sales representatives in the liquor industry and it was established that successful and less successful sales representatives could be statistically differentiated in terms of personality profile.

    (AOSIS OpenJournals, 1988-05) Augustyn, J. C. D.; Van Wyk, A. J.
    The 16PF Personality Test as an aid to the assessment centre Assessment centres still remains costly and thime consuming. This study investigates the reduction of time and costs by the use of the 16 PF Personality Test as a method for measuring management dimensions. Promising results were obtained with a relatively small sample for the prediction of initiative and perseverance. Significant multiple correlations were also found for three criteria of management success. Further research may establish the use of the 16 PF as an aid to management assessment and thereby reduce the costs and time involved in assessment centres.
