• The encouragement of research in all aspects of the field of labor studies -- social, political, economic, legal and psychological -- including employer and employee organizations, labor relations, personnel administration, social security and labor associations;
• The promotion of full discussion and exchange of ideas regarding the planning and conduct of research in this field;
• The dissemination of the significant results of such research; and
• The improvement of the materials and methods of instruction in the field of labor studies.
