TY - JOUR AB - The introduction of the industrial robot into the American workplace has been received with mixed results. Management, whose decision introduced the new technology, invariably views the robot's presence as a cure for many of the organization's production and competitive problems. Conversely, management's panacea is more often viewed as a pyorrhea by the firm's workers. To the production workers, the presence of the industrial robot is perceived as a threat to their jobs and is, therefore, treated with suspicion and resistance. In some extreme instances, disgruntled employees have even resorted to sabotage. VL - 13 IS - 1 SN - 0143-7720 DO - 10.1108/eb045295 UR - https://doi.org/10.1108/eb045295 AU - Fink Ross L.
