message: Change the title to Sociotechnical systems and make this a section, or make two separate articles.  While there are probably several hundred articles and a lesser number of books using the phrase Sociotechnical systems theory, there is a larger literature of perhaps a few thousand scholarly articles on Sociotechnical systems.  There are many theories of sociotechnical systems, not just one as described here. Moreover, there are many things to say about sociotechnical systems that do not quite fit in a "Sociotechnical systems theory" article.

thread_title:  Unrelated articles 

message: Several of my colleagues and I have reviewed both this article and the one at Sociotechnical systems theory. They appear to significantly overlap. We suggest you roll this article into Sociotechnical systems theory and delete this article to cut down on duplication on Wikipedia. Also, the correct spelling for sociotechnical does not contain a hyphen. 
A final suggestion is that the article entitled Sociotechnical systems theory should be simply called Sociotechnical systems, as this term has been more broadly applied since it was first used 40 years ago.

message: * In practice [4] this requires groups to be responsible for their own internal regulation and supervision, with the primary task of relating the group to the wider system falling explicitly to a group leader. This principle, therefore, describes a strategy for removing more traditional command hierarchies.
Isn't groups with a single leader handling communication up the chain of command the cornerstone of "traditional command hierarchies"? I'm confused here

thread_title:  What's the difference between [[Sociotechnical system]] and [[Sociotechnology]]? 

message: I read the article and found myself very confused. This article seems to be about Sociotechnical Theory, rather than Sociotechnical Systems. How does the system pertain to the theory and vice versa? My full evaluation can be found here: User:Emily M Hoffman/Evaluate an Article Thanks. -- Emily M Hoffman (talk) 04:57, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

message: The current lead conclusion (sentences expanded into paras): 
Sociotechnical theory is about joint optimization, with a shared emphasis on achievement of both excellence in technical performance and quality in people's work lives.
Sociotechnical theory, as distinct from sociotechnical systems, proposes a number of different ways of achieving joint optimisation.
They are usually based on designing different kinds of organisation, ones in which the relationships between socio and technical elements lead to the emergence of productivity and wellbeing.
The problem here is that this blurf explains nothing much, and comes at the expense of the lead summarizing the article, as it really ought to do. — MaxEnt 22:03, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
