1880 Scientific Management1929 Taylorism • Frederick Taylor decides to time each and every worker at the Midvale Steel Company. His view of the future becomes highly accurate: • "In the past man was first. In the future the system will be first." • In scientific management the managers were elevated while the workers' roles were negated. • "Science, not rule of thumb," said Taylor. • The decisions of supervisors, based upon experience and intuition, were no longer important. Employees were not allowed to have ideas of responsibility.

1932 Hawthorne studies • Between 1924 and 1933, research teams from Harvard University conducted field studies on worker productivity at the Western Electric Hawthorne plant near Chicago • The experiments initially concentrated on the relationship between productivity and work place lighting. To the researchers' surprise, both more and less light created higher productivity levels. • Sociologist Mayo joined the experiments in early 1928 and realized that the workers chosen for the experiment were accorded higher status by their co-workers. The increased performance was due to their increased motivation.
