ABSTRACT
In mass-production technology placement becomes a social problem. However specialized his product itself may be, the worker in a traditional craft or industry performs a variety of processes in the course of his work. Right placement is also one of the most fruitful ways of increasing productivity and efficiency. Even if we learn to fit the man to the job through successful placement, there would still remain the problem of fitting the job to the man. The problem of fitting the man to job is not exclusively an engineering problem. It is just as much a problem of group work. The individual in mass-production technology needs to be a part of the community of his fellow workers. Again World War II supplied us with dramatic proofs of the importance of integration. It made both management and workers conscious of the need for meaning and purposes in the work, and of the difficulties in satisfying it.
