Socio Technical Systems

Trist & Bamforth (1951) studied mechanization effects on UK coal mines processes concluding that existing productivity problems resulted from introduction of new technologies without considering impact on humans and the social work structure. Therefore, they proposed that any work process should not be seen as a technical system (plants, machinery) or a social system (organization and work relations), but as an integrated socio-technical system.
