Summary: In construction companies that are quit specific
sociotechnic systems a princip of social determinisam is dominated, so the
techno-technological and partly economical aspects are present, when social
and sociological aspects of of this system is unknown. Becouse in last few
dekades industrialisation has been introdeced in construction industy, that
was in other kindes of industry happened much earlier, character of this
process is probably same or similar like that pushed numerious of research
at the beginning of this century. This hypothesis has to be verificated
theoreticaly and empiricaly, so it could be possible to give sugestions and
solutions that are olready proofed in the industry, including adequate
modifications that could be possible to apply ijn practice.
Keywords: technology, organisation, sociotechical system, industrial technology, motivation, centralisation, working groups
Research goals: Construction companies is in theory treated same
like in the practice exclusively like technologiocal and economical system,
when its social aspect is neglected. In the recent time of technological
and social changes are present in civil engineering this is not adequate
any more. Therefore it is the latest moment that the social aspects of
these process start to be respected, based on the most succesfule
theoretical and practical solutions that ware applied from the breaking of
Taylorisam (technological determinisam) to the system theory. It would be
unsenseble to loose the oportunity to apply the solutions olready proofed
in the practice, respected its specifics. Such questions and solutions has
to become a integral part and objective of civil engineering education, but
also integral part of each profesional expertise that relates with this
time construction company activities. Other information about the project.
