Under the influence of socio-technical theory, recent job satisfaction research has focused upon the areas of (1) the work itself, (2) the individual versus the organization, and (3) job design. Successful job design appears to depend upon· finding satisfactory solutions to accommodate an organization's needs, its technology, and the desires and demands of the employed individuals. The creation of autonomous jobs at all levels of responsibility are seen as the key to a successful relationship between these three key components of the socio-technical system.
