| Abstract: | Shifts in social science research and theory on small groups that has been seen as the organization's means of controlling workers or a response to increasing power and demands are analysed. A historical survey of the image and reality of work groups during 1935-1981 is presented. It is found to be depended on the relative power of labour and capital as indicated by strikes and employment rates in specific periods. At times when worker power peaked, democratic, group oriented methods were advocated; when worker power declined, individualistic, authoritative approaches prevailed. |
