List any two limitations of the scientific management approach.

Solution

Scientific management, developed by F.W. Taylor, focused heavily on efficiency at the operating level, but it had several limitations. Two of them are:

  1. Ignored social and psychological factors: Taylor treated money as the only motivator and overlooked the human need for recognition, belonging, and satisfaction.
  2. Treated workers like machines: Jobs were broken into routine, machine-like procedures, which led to boredom, loss of interest, and quality problems.
