Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks you to identify the management concept described by providing an instruction sheet that dictates exactly how each job should be done, the time it should take, and the motions and tools to use.
Option 1: Reinforcement Theory. This is about how behavior is shaped by consequences (rewards and punishments) rather than detailing standardized work methods. It does not focus on prescribing precise work procedures or motions.
Option 2: Hawthorne Studies. These studies highlighted the importance of social factors, group dynamics, and attention to workers’ conditions on productivity, but they did not prescribe standardized task methods or time standards.
Option 3: Scientific Management. This approach, pioneered by Frederick Taylor, is centered on studying work scientifically, standardizing tasks, determining the best way to perform each job, and using time and motion studies to set precise procedures and timings. The description in the question aligns directly with this concept.
Option 4: McGregor’s Theory X. Theory X concerns assumptions about workers (that they are inherently lazy and require control), influencing management style, but it does not specify the technical standardization of tasks as described.
