Sociotechnical systems (STS) interventions are “directed at the fit between the technological configuration and the social structure of work units…[which] results in the rearrangement of relationships among roles or tasks or a sequence of activities to produce self-maintaining, semiautonomous groups. Most of the early research in the 1960s and 1970s focused on quality of work life interventions. The projects focused on such things as industrial democratization, participative management, job enrichment, and work rescheduling interventions. The underlying emphasis of these projects was on the impact of such interventions on worker satisfaction and productivity.
