This research paper aimed to describe and analyze articles published in Arquivos Brasileiros de Psicotécnica, linked to Applied Psychology to labor settings. This is an investigation based on the Social History of Psychology that applies strategies from sociobibliometrics, and Digital History of Psychology. The results suggest that Psychology participated actively with studies and interventions at the service of the developmental guidelines established by the State, and has also placed the individual and his relationship with the environment as an axis of studies that had repercussions on the worker's life, stemming from the subject-work interaction. Thus, historicizing Applied Psychology to labor settings has made it possible to grasp contributions from different theoretical and methodological propositions that have enabled new perspectives and have resonated in the development of Brazilian Psychology itself, especially the one focused on labor and organizations, and which have led to the constitution of Psychology as a profession.
