Striking a balance between the technical and social subsystems of a job remains the major challenge till today. The design of jobs at executive level through socio-technical system requires the appropriate analysis of relevant technical and social subsystem constructs / factors in the organization.

The paper helps to extract the extent to which the technical and social subsystem factors do exist in the executive level jobs in line with the framework of socio-technical design of jobs.
