There was a suggested change of title from Industrial to Occupational in 1956.
Under the Society's new Articles and By-Laws (adopted in 1958) the Industrial Section became the BPS Occupational Psychology Section.
The Occupational Psychology Section ran alongside the Division of Occupational Psychology.
In 1974 it was agreed that the BPS Division of Occupational Psychology should be primarily concerned with professional matters and the BPS Occupational Section with scientific matters. From 1999 they held joint annual conferences.
In 2001 the Division of Occupational Psychology was reconstituted to include members of the former Occupational Psychology Section.
The Division of Occupational Psychology is now (2018) concerned with both the professional and scientific aspects of occupational psychology.
