    Frederick Taylor developed the theory of scientific management in the early 20th century. His theory analyzed workflows to improve economic efficiency and labor productivity. It focused on maximizing benefits for both managers and workers through maximizing productivity, training employees, and developing efficient work methods based on scientific time and motion studies. While it provided benefits like higher salaries and profits, it was also criticized for potentially exploiting workers and treating them like machines.

    of Scientific Management and Principles of
    Scientific Management

    Taylor argued that management must base on:

    Maximizing benefits of both Training and developing


    managers and workers individuals in the organization

    inefficiently:

    Defective management Inefficiently rules of


    Deceptive belief that a
    systems, which made it thumb methods, which

    Advantages

    Scientific management is essential for any kind of


    business these days

    The scientific management is beneficial to employees


    when they start receiving higher salaries than before.

    The works was carried out systematically according


    to predetermined plan.

    The recruitment was done on scientific lines and other


    human rights for all selected correctly.

    financial autonomy to provide a sound basis of
    financial concerns.
    Disadvantages
    Disadvantages
    - Taylorism can easily be abused to exploit human being. It conflicts with
    labor union.

    - It is not useful to deal with group or team.

    - Loss of skill level and autonomy at worker level. It is not useful in


    current knowledge worker environments.

    - Overemphasis on measuring. No attention for soft factors.
