- ". . . as contractual organizations move closer to technological determination, they tend to become differentiated along pluralistic lines . . ." (109)Udy, Stanley H., Jr. - Work in traditional and modern society, 1970 - 2 Variables
Udy divides methods of work organization into 'production determined', 'technologically determined', 'socially determined', and 'pluralistic' types, and examines their prevalence across societies with varying subsistence activities and levels of social and political stratification. Special attention is paid to processes of integration and differentiation and their role in effecting transitions between organization types.

Such as exist are either occupationally based or at least job specific. The two structural types (characterized as developmental dead ends), 'ascriptive core-ascriptive group employee' and 'mutual associations' do not progress beyond the employer-specific level. The structural form, 'ascriptive employer-individual employee', however, does appear to be developmentally fertile (78)Udy, Stanley H., Jr. - Work in traditional and modern society, 1970 - 2 Variables
