Abstract
People's social and economic desires are gradually becoming more versatile and fragmented. Industries should be developed in such a way that these versatile human desires are brought into harmony with the organizational needs of production engineering. In this paper we report on the state of the desires and motivations of Japanese workers in 1974 and 1977 resulting from investigation and analysis using application methods of multivariate analysis and give an example of new production systems in which workers are in harmony with organizational needs.Keywords
