PRELIMINARY Preliminary.--Chapter XV discussed some possible supervisory responsibilities that might come into the foreman's job from the standpoint of "the human factors," that is, those things that count in affecting the physical condition and mental attitude of the members of the working force. As pointed out there, these human factors lie outside of the questions of the M, T, I values and the general job qualifications and are concerned entirely with those elements that come out of the fact that workers are not merely "carriers" of certain knowledge, skill, strength, etc., but are human beings with bodies that can be injured, impaired by illness, that are affected by the conditions under which they work, and who possess minds that think. For example, a worker might possess all necessary knowledge, skill and so on required to put a job across in first class shape, yet, if he were sick, he could not use that skill and knowledge as effectively as if he were well; if his mental attitude is such that he does not care whether he does the job well or badly, or dislikes the job, or is dissatisfied, or does not want to work at all, the quality or quantity of his work will be affected and so his physical condition or his mental attitude will become a very important cost element.

As part of a 1950s study dealing with various phases of the impact of mass production on human behaviour, this volume, originally published in 1956 and now a classic of its time examines the technological environment and the foreman within management, from the foreman's point of view. The book presents case-history material, but behind this presentation and controlling it are broad concepts, one of the most important of which is that of a technological work environment. The book relates its study of a segment in American industry to the borader challenges of human relations to work in the modern world.
