The Design of Work in the 1980s.

Abstract

The present state of work and workers in U. S. society are examined, with special attention to evidence that provides clues about how work may be designed in the 1980s and beyond. Two different routes that may be taken in designing work in the years to come are suggested, and their likely consequences are explored. The essay closes with a prediction about the route that actually will be taken in designing and managing work in the next decade. (Author)
