Abstract | A 3-day conference conducted by the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research with the support of the Ford Foundation explored a range of problems that blue collar workers have with their jobs and discussed new directions for industrial work which would decrease worker alienation and "humanize" the quality of work. The 42 conference participants represented management, unions, the Federal Government, universities, magazines, and the Ford Foundation. Some suggested approaches for alleviating job discontent and improving worker attitudes included job enrichment and redesign programs, organizational restructuring, and increasing opportunities for individual development to maximize productivity. Diverse viewpoints and interests are illustrated with quotations from conference discussions. (AG) |
