  5. * Frederick Taylor: The Father of Scientific Management * LG1 • Study how a job is performed. • Gather time & motion information. • Check different methods. • Codify the best method into rules. • Choose workers whose skill matches the rules. • Establish a fair level of performance and pay. TAYLOR’S FOUR KEY PRINCIPLES 10-5

  6. * Frederick Taylor: The Father of Scientific Management * LG1 • Time-Motion Studies: Studies of which tasks must be performed to complete a job and the time needed to do each task. • Led to the development of the Principle of Motion Economy:Every job can be broken down into a series of elementary motions; developed by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. TIME-MOTION STUDIES 10-6

  7. * Elton Mayo and the Hawthorne Studies * LG2 • Researchers studied worker efficiency under different levels of light. (Elton Mayo, Harvard) • Productivity increased regardless of light condition. HAWTHORNE STUDIES: PURPOSE AND RESULTS • Researchers decided it was a human or psychological factor at play. • Hawthorne Effect:People act differently when they know they are being studied. 10-7

  8. * Motivation and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs * LG3 • Hierarchy of Needs:Theory of motivation based on unmet human needs from basic physiological needs to safety, social and esteem needs to self-actualization needs. • Needs that have already been met do not motivate. • If a need is filled, another higher-level need emerges.
