Scientific Management
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Frederick Winslow Taylor was not what one might classify as an empowering type of people person; the father of scientific management, this resourceful boss man placed everything - production, profit margin and performance - ahead of the person, mandating those who worked for him to demonstrate a degree of accomplishment that went far above any reasonable expectation, not to mention at a fraction of the economic compensation such productivity is due. Taylor looked upon his workforce as a finely tuned machine that ran at a constantly high rate of speed. Mental stagnation was rampant as 'Taylorism' did not endorse the regular change of position to help keep up morale; rather, specialization kept workers at one and only one task. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
