In this address at the First Annual Dinner of The National Association for Mental Health, Menninger broadens the concept of 'industry' to include anyone who works. With that definition, he discusses the psychological aspects of work as an opportunity for the discharge of aggression, as well as a way of earning a living. The mandatory aspect of work arouses resentment toward the 'unseen authority'. Emotional maladjustment as opposed to technical incompetence accounts for from sixty to eighty percent of all industrial dismissals. Part of the answer to this widespread and grave problem lies in the provision of adequate, understanding leadership; another in the providing of motivation; a third in treatment of problems as they arise on the 'front line' in work. Much of the total problem of maladjustment lies in the mixing of value systems—the undue stress on materialism and a relative lack of concern for the provision of personal satisfactions. Menninger calls on organized industry to support the mental hygiene movement, to assume a larger share of responsibility for the improvement of the shape and nature of the world in which we live.
