Taylor’s scientific managment was first known as :

  • A.Scientific Management
  • B.Time Study
  • C.Rubble Hypothesis
  • D.Task and Bonus Management

Answer: D

The key gives Task and Bonus Management.

Before the name 'scientific management' came into wide use around 1910, Taylor's system was known as the task system or task management: each worker was set a defined task for the day, worked out by time and motion study, and earned a bonus or a higher piece rate for completing it. Henry Gantt's task-and-bonus plan grew out of the same system. Of the options, task and bonus management is the one that names that earlier form.

Scientific Management is the later name, not the first. Time study was a technique within the system, not its name. 'Rubble Hypothesis' is the paper's spelling of Mayo's 'rabble hypothesis', a criticism of classical economics' view of workers, and has nothing to do with Taylor's label.
