Organization size and alienation : a background report / by John W. Gartrell, Department of Sociology, University of Alberta. : Z1-1975/1-41-27E-PDF

"Although relationships with organizations permeate our social life, organizational size probably has its most persistent long term effects through employment. Indeed, one of the dramatic social changes brought by industrialism has been the shift from self-employment to employment in large-scale bureaucracies. Industrial technology has increased production and created some measure of security—the risks faced in earning a living have lessened—yet the complexity generated by that technology has led to a perceived lack of individual control because the organization manages the employee's environment. The complexity of social interaction inherent in large organizations and the loss of control that their hierarchical structures imply is thus a two-edged sword"--Introduction, page 1.
