Definition(s)

  • Over the 20th century, the traditional mechanisms of negative control have become less and less effective. The alienation of employees because of a work organization based on monotonous, individualized, and nonmeaningful tasks brought about a phenomenon of absenteeism, staff turnover, and reduced productivity.
