Contribution of F.W. Taylor towards management

Here we take a look at the contributions made by F.W. Taylor towards management.

Frederick Taylor’s theory of scientific management developed techniques for improving the efficiency of the work process.

Based on a systematic study of people, tasks and work behavior, Taylor’s theory broke the work process down into the smallest possible units, or sub-tasks, in an effort to determine the most efficient method possible for completing a particular job.

Taylor’s theory brought numerous improvements to organizational management during a period when an autocratic management style was the norm.

Here are some developments that resulted from the Taylor theory of management:

• Significantly improved productivity
• Increased employee incentive
• Widespread improvements in quality control
• Better personnel practices
• Greater cooperation between management and workers with a consistent application of Taylor’s theory of management.
