3-1 Discussion: Scientific Management, Bureaucracy, and the Emergence of the Modern Organization According to the philosophies of Frederick W. Taylor discussed in our text, four basic principles of scientific management tried to theorize and thus systemize the management of workers. Below are the four basic scientific management principles and a brief discussion of the principle I saw used most often at one of my past places of employment (. A. Scientific Job Design - This principle scientifically examines each job or task to determine the " best way to perform the job." The scientific job design replaced the earlier "rule of thumb" method, where workers were left to devise their own means to do the job (web,2023). B. Scientific Selection and Training of Individual Workers - This is the process of hiring the right worker for the job he is best suited for and training them with the necessary skills that will allow them to work at maximum efficiency. This form of management is different because workers no longer choose their work or train themselves. C. Cooperation Between Management and Workers - This type of management allows management to check work performance and supply instruction and training when needed. Management can give a supportive supervisory environment that gives workers a sense of accomplishment. D. Equal Division of Work between Management and Workers - This principle allows management to assume the responsibility for scientifically designing tasks and planning training of employees (Mumby,2013). Old management allowed workers to plan and 3-1

While I was an enlisted soldier in the United States Army, I would have to say I saw the Scientific Selection and Training of Individual Workers. We needed to take various examinations during the recruitment process, including mental and physical aptitude and skills tests. We may have started with many perspective soldiers at the MEPS stations, but those numbers quickly dwindled. If you did not score a particular score, your chances of getting a technical or highly skilled job are lessened. I saw this behavior and techniques used throughout my military career. Job placement and training were based on the needs of management (Department of the Army) and soldiers' ability to perform the task. (How efficient they were at performing their duties? Could they do their job in times of crisis?
