Models of Purposive Human Organization: A Comparative Study

Abstract

The authors have previously presented a framework for a generic model of purposive human organization, based on relationships between pairs of resources, pairs of tasks, and resource-task pairs. This study compares the relational model, on the bases of conceptual foundations, function, and operation, with the socio-technical model. In addition to the theoretical comparison, a detailed example of a hypothetical organization is presented.
