Scientific Management
 Scientific management: the systematic
study of relationships between people and
tasks for the purpose of redesigning the
work process to increase efficiency
 The amount of and effort each employee
expends to produce a unit of output can
be reduced by increasing specialization
and the division of labor
Four Principles of
Scientific Management
 1. Study the way employees perform
their tasks, gather informal job knowledge
that employees possess, and experiment
with ways of improving the way tasks are
performed
 2. Codify the new methods of performing
tasks into written rules and standard
operating procedures
Four Principles of
Scientific Management_2
 3. Carefully select employees so that they
possess skills and abilities that match the
needs of the task, and train them to
perform the task according to the
established rules and procedures
 4. Establish an acceptable level of
performance for a task, and then develop
a pay system that provides a reward for
performance above the acceptable level
The Hawthorne Studies
 Hawthorne Works of the Western
Electric Company; 1924-1932
 Initiated as an attempt to investigate
how characteristics of the work setting
affect employee fatigue and
performance (i.e., lighting)
 Found that productivity increased
regardless of whether illumination was
raised or lowered
