Which of the following statements is/are linked to F.W. Taylor ?
(i) Trade Unionism is unacceptable.
(ii) Scientific Management is mechanical.
(iii) Worker is a technical man.
(iv) Piece-rate wage plan is an unhealthy practice.
Select the correct answer from the codes given below :
Answer: B
The official key gives (ii), that scientific management is mechanical, as the statement linked to F. W. Taylor. I could not confirm that Taylor himself said this, since it is mostly the view of critics that his method treats work in a mechanical way, so the key is followed with that caution.
Taylor did not hold that trade unionism is unacceptable in the extreme form of (i), though he thought it unnecessary where management did its job, and his scheme was a differential piece rate plan, so statement (iv) is the reverse of his view.
