  • Managers often implemented only the increased output side of Taylor’s plan.
    • They did not allow workers to share in increased output.
    • Specialized jobs became very boring, dull.
    • Workers ended up distrusting Scientific Management.
  • Workers could purposely “under-perform”
Management responded with increased use of machines.
