Business

Taylor’s four principles are as follows:

1. Working by “rule of thumb” should be replaced by the scientific method to study work and determine the most efficient way to perform specific tasks.

2. Workers should be matched to their jobs based on capability and motivation and they should also be trained to attain maximum efficiency instead of just assigning them to do any job.

3. Workers performance should be monitored regularly and this should be backed up by instructions and supervision to ensure that they are using the most efficient ways of working.

4. Work should be allocated beetween managers and workers so that the managers spend their time to plan and train while workers perform their tasks efficiently.
