INTRODUCTION
SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT is one of the main theories of management that is used to analyze and synthesize workflows. It has become an important part of management process which applies science to the process of management using scientific methods that includes scientific tools such as research, management and analysis. This theory also reveals that same principles of management can be applied to all social entities. The starting point of scientific management is how to improve production. When it came into existence one of its main objectives was to improve economic efficiency. It involves complete mental revolution of workers towards their duty, work, fellowmen and employees. In all it was a good idea in history of management. Since its existence various books and articles had been published on scientific management which workers familiar to it. The purpose of this research paper is to reveal and discuss various aspects of scientific management, its principles and its application in today’s work environment.
HISTORY OF THEORY
Scientific management theory was developed by FREDERIC WINSLOW TAYLOR an American Mechanical Engineer in the 1880s and 1890s. He is known as the father of scientific management. That’s why this theory is also called TAYLORISM. Although it was developed in last of 19th century but its peak level of influence was during 1910 and after 10 years i.e. in 1920 it had begun an era of competition with complementary ideas. This theory was introduced by him in response to a motivational problem called “soldiering” at that time which was the attempt among workers to do least work in large amount of time. To overcome this, Taylor proposed his theory that managers should measure productivity
