Synopsis

Explore the debate between scientific management and labor through the lens of an in‑depth, methodical study. This nonfiction work presents the aims, methods, and findings of a major investigation into how efficiency systems affect workers, managers, and society. It highlights both potential benefits and the real-world challenges of applying scientific management in practice.

Driven by hearings and extensive shop visits, the book lays out the competing claims of management experts and organized labor. It examines how time study, task setting, training, and pace relate to worker welfare and industrial democracy. The material is presented in a balanced, documentary style, with conclusions drawn from comprehensive evidence rather than rhetoric.

• Clear explanation of the investigation’s purpose, scope, and key questions


• Analysis of how scientific management appears in theory and in actual shops


• Critical examination of labor claims, trade union objections, and practical implications


• Appendices and a structured questionnaire illustrating the data‑gathering process

Ideal for readers seeking a historical, evidence‑based view of early 20th‑century industrial reform and its impact on workers and management alike.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
