Abstract

This paper compares the impact of management level and technological groupings on management autonomy structure. A task unit aggregation index of technology was the better predictor, except when the items were most task specific. Level of management did not predict. Technology is conditioned by plant norms, management level, and task specifications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
