Principles of Sociotechnical Design Revisted
This paper is a review of the author's 1976 "Principles of Sociotechnical Design." While most of the principles set out there have stood the test of time and experience, modifications are needed.

Some new principles are proposed. More attention is given to the needs o…

Behavioral Science Engagements
In this paper we discuss the modes of engagement between social scientists and their clients. There are three significant variables: the negotiability of the problem, the openness of the client to the nature of the solution, and the discretion allowed to the social scientist in choice of method. During engagements clients experience pressure to close options, while social scientists wish to keep them open. The resulting balance determines the nat…

The significance of the quality of working life movement is then considered and the growth and diffusion of this approach on the international scene is assessed. Finally, some of the problems for the …
