The notion the particular type of technology workers were exposed to shapes their experience was most forcefully argued in a classic study by Robert Blauner.[5] He argued that some work is alienating more than other types because of the different technologies workers use.[citation needed] Alienation, to Blauner, has four dimensions: powerlessness, meaninglessness, isolation, and self-estrangement.[6] Individuals are powerless when they can't control their own actions or conditions of work; work is meaningless when it gives employees little or no sense of value, interest or worth; work is isolating when workers cannot identify with their workplace; and work is self-estranging when, at the subjective level, the worker has no sense of involvement in the job.
