The interconnection of social and technological processes inside organisations is emphasised by sociotechnical theory, a theoretical framework. An overview of the Sociotechnical Theory, its fundamental ideas, and how it may be used to analyse organisational structure and performance are given in this abstract. According to the sociotechnical theory, relationships, communication, and organisational values are among the social elements that affect organisational effectiveness in addition to technical ones. The abstract discusses the core ideas of sociotechnical theory, including the need of combining social and technical system optimisation and the value of employee autonomy and engagement in decision-making. Additionally, it addresses how organisational culture, team dynamics, and job design affect the development of successful sociotechnical systems. The abstract also emphasises how Sociotechnical Theory is used in a variety of fields, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and information technology, where the integration of social and technical factors is essential for organisational success. Organisations may establish a balance between efficiency and employee well-being by adopting a sociotechnical approach, which improves performance, innovation, and work happiness. In order to achieve long-term organisational success, it is critical to comprehend and apply sociotechnical theory in modern organisations. This abstract emphasises the need of doing both.
