The Impact of a Change in Technology on Job Characteristics: A Quasi- Experiment

A number of individuals were helpful at various stages of the research. Dr. Mitchell Shapiro was instrumental during the early planning. Dr. Robert Banasik, the technical consultant to the hospital, informed us of the impending change and facilitated entry. Numerous individuals conducted interviews and helped to prepare the data. The management of the dietary unit, Mrs. Keefe, Mrs. Vecozols, Mrs. Merryman, Mrs. Widder, and Mrs. Wilken, provided invaluable assistance throughout the course of the study. Finally, we would like to acknowledge the anonymous reviewers for their useful suggestions.
