Report: Analysis of Work in the 19th Century and Modern Theories

This report analyzes the evolution of work, focusing on the 19th century and its transition to the modern era. It examines the shift from a survival-based work ethic to one driven by lifestyle and market development. The report uses a historical image to illustrate the labor conditions and the importance of work during the 19th century, contrasting it with modern labor practices and the division of labor. It highlights the impact of the Industrial Revolution on work systems, from home-based production to factory-based systems, and how these changes influenced both domestic and global markets. Additionally, it touches upon the psychological theories related to work, such as the survival needs of the Hunter-Gatherers and the modern division of labor.

The main focus of this poster is on the one question “What is Work?”. In this poster,
focuses is bases on human motivation and techniques to do the work in traditional
and modern era with the several theories. Apart from it, the purpose of doing the
work will also discussed.
Firstly the main focus is given on the behavior of human from 19th century to the
modern era. As per the earlier behavior, people more focuses on survival things
but nowadays, people believes in developing market with their survivals. It states
that people do work with the enhancement of lifestyle.
The main purpose of selecting this picture is to describe the 19c
work system. This picture states the situation of the labors to
perform their duties and responsibilities towards the
organization. Earlier, the people do not exchange the wages for
services which they give to the organization as they exchange the
goods and services for performing their jobs for survival. The
main purpose of performing their work is the survival which is
necessary for the people (Spender, 1937).This picture also states
the theory of labor work. In the period of 19c, people believe in
labor work instead of machine work which makes their
performance more effective.
This picture defines employee performing in the
organization by using the machines. At the time
of industry evaluation, systems put out as the
workers provide home work to workers with
raw material and tools to produce the product
with the large amount of quantity (History,
2020).
At the traditional era, people follow the
satisfactory theory of psychology as they need
to survive in the market. At the time of Hunter-
Gatherers, there is no division of labour other
than gender and no social stratification. In
modern era, people believe in division of labor.
Division of labor states to the specialization of
productive activity either by person in different
occupational groups and by different
components.
The time of Revolution is important for the working industry as the system have been changed with the time to perform the
duties. Change in industry work system helps the industry to grow the market. The system is change in domestic and the
global level. The lifestyle of workers have been enhance by changing the system of division of labor to provide the duties which
defines the changes in domestic level. The changing system of industry also affects the global working system as the market
has been developed or grows by developing the products and services.
