AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -He introduced the differential piece rate system, of paying wages to the workers . The industrial revolution provided the impetus for developing various new approaches to increase the productivity and efficiency of the workers.

Detailed explanation-2: -Taylor’s differential piece-rate system posits that the worker who exceeds the standard output within the stipulated time must be paid a high rate for high production. On the other hand, the worker is paid a low rate if he fails to reach the level of output within the standard time.

Detailed explanation-3: -Taylor believed that all workers were motivated by money, so he promoted the idea of “a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work.” In other words, if a worker didn’t achieve enough in a day, he didn’t deserve to be paid as much as another worker who was highly productive.

Detailed explanation-4: -Taylor developed the technique of differential piece wage system in order to differentiate between efficient and inefficient workers and then reward efficient workers.

Detailed explanation-5: -He is most remembered for developing the stopwatch time study, which, combined with Frank Gilbreth’s motion study methods, later became the field of time and motion study.
