From the Paper:

"The second point, the impact of technology on work related stress is as crucial to the question of the state of organizational behavior as ethics, if more controversial within the texts, as stress is a more subjective question that ethics. Technology, at its rise was often utilized, regardless of the physical impact it may have had on those who worked with it, especially with regard to manufacturing technology at the beginning of the technology revolution. Yet, today the technology of a manufacturing or even an intellectual facet of an organization has the human more in mind. During the past decade, stress has become a significant topic in organizational behavior, in part due to the increase in competitive pressures in many industries, increased globalization, and advances in technology. (Sims, 2002, p. 109) This does not always eliminate stress as there are still many issues with regard to technology, other than safety that determine stress level but the idea that one is less likely to be killed or maimed when they go to work was the first and most foundational step to the human- technology marriage."
