AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Frederick Winslow Taylor is known as the Father of Scientific Management, which also came to be known as “Taylorism.” Taylor believed that it was the role and responsibility of manufacturing plant managers to determine the best way for the worker to do a job, and to provide the proper tools and training.

Detailed explanation-2: -While Taylorism decomposed tasks and assigned those tasks to individual workers, Fordism recomposed the tasks by welding the individual labours into a speedy human machine. Added to this was something super-rational–the rationality of work organisation in terms of Taylorism was fully stretched.

Detailed explanation-3: -The four principles of Taylor’s scientific management are: Science, not rule of thumb. Harmony, not discord. Cooperation, not individualism.
