Summary in Afrikaans and English / Against the background of the volume of Third Party Claims instituted annually and
considering the cost involved therein, it has become increasingly important that
Industrial Psychologists be consulted to assist in the quantifying of such claims.
From an Industrial Psychologist's view, these claims can be quantified by making
use of certain Industrial Psychology techniques. These techniques include
psychometrical evaluation, applying the knowledge on:- training, job analysis,
interviewing and guidance, career planning and ergonomics. The purpose of this study was to liaise with the Legal Profession to identify the
requirements and problem areas experienced in the establishing and quantifying of
Third Party Insurance Claims. The needs thus identified served as the basis for
this study.
In the process of defining and categorising these problems, it became apparent that
these requirements could be addressed satisfactorily by Industrial Psychologists.
It was therefore possible also to determine whether Industrial Psychology as a
Science, could contribute to solving these problems. To determine therefore whether Industrial Psychology could actually address and
solve these problems and whether the Courts would recognise the contribution of
Industrial Psychologists, an actual case study was made of a matter where two
Industrial Psychologists had made evaluations.
Researching the methods of evaluations employed, and viewing the finding of the
Court thereafter, it became apparent that Industrial Psychology can satisfy the need
encountered by the legal profession therein. It is further concluded that the curriculum of Industrial Psychology may be
successfully applied as an accepted Science in the quantifying of Third Party
Insurance Claims. / Teen die agtergrond van die hoeveelheid derdepartyeise wat jaarliks ingedien word,
met inagneming van die koste verbonde, word dit toenemend belangrik dat
bedryfsielkunde behulpsaam moet wees met die kwantifisering van sulke eise.
Vanuit 'n bedryfsielkundige oogpunt kan hierdie eise gekwantifiseer word deur
gebruik te maak van sekere bedryfsielkundige tegnieke. Hierdie tegnieke sluit in,
psigometriese evaluering, kennis oor opleiding, posontleding, onderhoudvoering en
voorligting, loopbaanbeplanning en ergonomika. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M. Com. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology)
