Abstract
A framework is presented that models the relationships among a company, its workforce, and society. This framework utilizes a set of work dimensions that link characteristics of work tasks to the well-being of workers. A methodology, Company-Society Compatibility, is derived from this framework comparing two cultures - that of the company and that of an indigenous society. The comparison is performed by characterizing the work offered by the company and work that is compatible with the society. This information would be useful to decision makers who have responsibility for designing, planning and managing work.
