Social Context
The classical paradigm produced profit for
the owners of factories, and efficiency of
the workers, but within limits
It also created unintended negative
consequences
Piece-rate payment system (the result of
time-motion studies) forced workers to
work inhumanely fast on the assembly line
of factories. For ex., in Henry Fords car
factories
Social Context
The forced fast-pace of work, and the
repetitiveness of work, led workers to
secretly coordinate and set
production levels below what they
were capable of
Workers exerted social pressure on
each other to produce no more than
the level they had decided on
