Our History

1946

PSP Metrics was founded in 1946 when the post-war economy demanded better processes to predict employee success. We then spent decades devoting significant resources to the study of employee motivation, including the two-factor theory of motivation developed by PSP’s Dr. Frederick Herzberg. This ground-breaking research was published in The Motivation to Work, which became an instant classic.

1970s-1980s

In the 1970s and 80s, PSP studied successful middle managers and determined they had the same motivational patterns, intellectual skills, and interpersonal characteristics—regardless of gender and age. We also analyzed the significance and effects of flexible human resource planning within a diverse workplace.

2021

Over the last 75 years, we’ve remained committed to developing innovative and accurate benchmarks for key positions throughout the 21st-century workforce.
