6. FOUR PRINCIPLE OF SCIENTIFIC
MANAGEMENT
Replacing rule of thumb with science
Harmony and cooperation
Division of work and responsibility
Training and development of workers

7. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SCIENTIFIC
MANAGEMENT~
I. Replacing rule of thumb with science-
Each and every job and the method of doing should
be based on scientific study and analysis rather
than on trial and error . This principle says that we
should not get stuck in a set and continue with the
old techniques of doing we should be consultancy
experimenting to develop new techniques which
make the work simpler.

8. II. Harmony and cooperation~
Management should adopt a positive attitude
within an organisation and share the gains of
productivity with workers. Workers on their part
should work with discipline and loyalty. As per
this principle, such an atmosphere should be
created in the organisation that labour(the
major factor of production) and management
consider each other indispensable.taylor has
referred as a ‘mental revolution’.

9. III. Division of work and responsibility~
Management should concentrate on planning the
job of workers and workers should concentrate on
the performance of their specific jobs so as to
increase their efficiency . According to this principle
, all the activities done by different people must be
carried on with a spirit of mutual cooperation. Taylor
has suggested that the manager and the worker
should jointly determine standard.This increases
involvement and turn,increases responsibility.

10. IV. Training and development of workers~
Workers should be selected and trained
keeping in the view the job requirements. Each
and every worker should be encouraged to
develop his full potential. According to this
principle , the efficiency of each and every
person should be taken care of right from his
selection. A proper arrangement of
everybody’s training should be made . IT
should also be taken care that each individual
be alloted work according to his ability and
interest.
