| Abstract: | Many managers have found popular and academic writings on job and organizational design most interesting and have committed a great deal of energy in trying to use them. Terms such as job enrichment, job enlargement, Japanese management, and socio-technical design have become well known for their potential in responding to problems of job dissatisfaction, labour instability, and poor workmanship. Ways in which "popular paperback" theories, as well as other more systematic organizational theories of design might be customized to the particular needs of the organization are illustrated. A practical theory of management motivation is described and analyzed. |
