- Abstract
The article discusses ways to help workers adjust to automation. The psychological response of the worker to change generated by modern technological transition is of significant importance. The overall "tone" or climate of an organization in a behavioral sense is an integral factor enhancing or detracting from the level of teamwork present in a work situation. Experts say by making definitive plans, anticipating morale fluctuations during periods of technological change, and developing preventive action to cushion the negative effects managers can mediate the reaction of employees.
