ABSTRACT
Since its inception in the 1950s, the socio-technical design paradigm of organizations has never left the scene of socio-scientific and management literature. Socio-Technical Systems Design (STSD) plays an important role in giving shape to factories, offices, and government institutions that follow modern patterns. Socio-technical systems design is an applied science that aims to improve the functioning of both the worker and the organization through adaptation or fundamental redesign of contents and organization of technology and human labour tasks. Many authors, not least psychologists, have contributed to the development of this broad approach in the past four decades, oriented to both management and staff.
