- "Production determined . . . organizations have marked tendencies toward rationality even . . . in the absence of any technological necessity for them to be so . . ." (55)Udy, Stanley H., Jr. - Work in traditional and modern society, 1970 - 2 Variables
Udy divides methods of work organization into 'production determined', 'technologically determined', 'socially determined', and 'pluralistic' types, and examines their prevalence across societies with varying subsistence activities and levels of social and political stratification. Special attention is paid to processes of integration and differentiation and their role in effecting transitions between organization types.

Production determined forms are just as likely to be rationally organized as are contractual form" (54)Udy, Stanley H., Jr. - Work in traditional and modern society, 1970 - 2 Variables

Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - Production determined organizations possess the exact number of authority levels required by the technology. Socially determined organizations possess more levels of authority than technologically necessary, and hence are inefficient (49)Udy, Stanley H., Jr. - Work in traditional and modern society, 1970 - 4 Variables

Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - Type of work is related to whether organization is permanent or temporary and whether it is basic-auxiliary or autonomous (44)Udy, Stanley H., Jr. - Organization of work: a comparative analysis of production among nonindustr..., 1959 - 3 Variables
This book is a comparative study of the ways in which work is organized among non-industrial societies in the production of material goods. Two general hypotheses guide the author's work: (1) The structure of any work organization is influenced by both techonological processes and social setting, and (2) The structure of any reward system is influenced by the characteristics of the work organization, the social setting, and the limits imposed by features of the technological processes. Several predictions are presented and all are supported.
