هندسة النظم السوسيوتقنية : الخلفيات النظرية

Abstract EN

The technological gap in the current work systems has driven the researchers more than forty years back, to look into the scientific heritage of the sociotechnical approach, and to benefit from its’ contribution on the design of organizations.

In order to reshape and redesign the workspace in a way that allows the social parts of the system to grow and develop alongside with the rapid and dynamic technical parts of the system.

This has led to the emergence of the sociotechnical systems engineering (STSE) nowadays.

Engineering systems according to sociotechnical principles is one of the most important pillars of the current designs.

Whether for the production of units, or organizational structures, these principles aim to develop workplaces that consider both the needs of the machine on raw materials and energy resources, and the psychological, social and cultural needs of the human being, based on that theoretical heritage that has been overlooked for a long time.

Therefore, this article comes to shed light on some of that heritage, and illustrate how the researchers of sociotechnical approach saw the work systems in the enterprise.
