Przemiany treści pracy w warunkach automatyzacji
Streszczenie
The paper deals with non-technological aspects of changes in the content
of work in the conditions of growing automation.
Basing on the empirical research and studies of literature on changes in
the content of work of machine tool operators (conventional, Numerical Control
- NC, and Computer Numerical - CNC) the author claims a growth of importance
of non-technological factors of the situation of work in the formation
of the structure of the content of work (the degree of complexity of
action, the extent of autonomy, the level of required qualification etc.) Of
special significance is the expansion of the range of organizational freedom
brought about by the growing mechanization and automation.
The research results are contrary to the theories of "technologistic" determinism
of the content of work and refer to the modern theoretical and empirical
orientation in the sociology of technology.
