How did scientific management set the stage for further research on employee motivation ?

Actually i don't know about the Taylor's theory.

But in my humble point of view, I think they work according to the next:

1- Study the work environment.

2- study the current management process.

3- Check all the mistakes and management problems.

4- Collect a very detailed questionnaire from the employees about their problems and opinions.

5- start to categorize everything that reduced the employee motivations.

6- Start to solve all the problems and to set up new actions to motivate the employees.

7- follow up and evaluate what number6. 

Scientificall study each part of a task and develop the best method of performing the task

carefully select workers and train them to perform the task by using the scientifically developed method

Cooperate fully with workers to ensure that they use the proper method

Divide work and responsibility so that management is responsible for planning work methods using scientific principles and workers are responsible for executing the work accordingly 

Thanks,

- Try to pass all the old mistakes.

- Test your internal environment , and find out what your employees need exactly.

- Set a actual and good plan of motivation ( commission , incentives..)

- Try to exclude your lazy or inactive employee from your team

Taylor believed that work activities could be broken down into tasks by using a scientific method to find the most efficient way of performing a job. He advocated that work should be reduced to a series of routine, predictable and standardized tasks. Taylor assumed that workers were motivated by money so he introduced payment on a piecework basis, as an incentive which would increase productivity.

Although we can still find evidence of Taylor’s scientific management, his approach was widely criticized for discounting the human element and behavior in the workplace. Although money is still an influencing factor in motivating people at work, individual differences mean that we are motivated by other factors in the workplace as well as money.

i'm agree with ur answer mr. shadi plus i'm really agree with him around ninety %

Classic theory about me is the best to doing now

The basic principles(rules) of Taylor's Scientific management were:1) Standardisation of work methods: A scientific method for each job/task of a worker via scientific observation and analysis of a particular job to find out the one best way to do that task that would lead to reduced work for the worker as he could do more with limited number of movements.Use of bench marked and standardized tools and equipments and methods would improve quality control and inspections thus reducing cost of production and increasing efiiciency. Taylor emphasised on the ' right man for the right job' by proper selection and training and ensuring fair wages and reasonable prices for standardised goods to consumers.2) Equal division of work and responsibility between management and workers: At that time workers had all the load of work and they were left to fend for themselves to complete the work. Thus Taylor advocated that the management had to seriously undertake functions for which it was best suited to i.e. planning,organising,controlling and determining methods of work instead of leaving all this to the mostly uneducated worker who knew nothing of this and was only concerned with doing his job through the skills he had. This principle according to Taylor would help create a mutual understanding and dependence between the latter and the former in the long run that would eliminate all unnecessary conflict and mistrust that was existing between the two at that time. He believed that this mutual harmony instead of discord is the just and rightful characteristic of scientific management.3) Scientific selection of workers and their progressive development: He advocated through this principle the need for the management to study the nature and character of each job/work and then scientifically choose the right worker for the same who possess the necessary skills for the same. It is also the duty of the management to study the limitations and possibilities of workers for their development as Taylor believed that every worker had a definite potential for development. he advocated for a systematic and thorough training of workers for the job after being selected . It is also important that the worker accepts the new methods,tools and conditions in their own interest and does it sincerely.4) Mutual collaboration of workers and management: According to this principle there should be active cooperation and cordial relations between management and workers instead of discord and distrust in order to increase the production and efficiency of the company/organization. A healthy environment needs to be created. A formally prescribed scientific method of production in organizations will lead to a lot of conflicts that occur due to lack of clear communication and confusion from top to bottom between the latter and former disappearing.
