Scientific management is the best way to get a job done and improve worker efficiency (Robbins, 1994, p.32).

Taylor began scientific management during the Second Industrial Revolution that began in the 1850s, which included the development of ships and railroads that harnessed steam power and also the development of electrical power generation. Taylor was born in 1856, rose through the ranks from laborer to chief engineer for over 6 years (Bartol, Margaret, Graham, & Martin, 2005, p.34), then saw that managers struggled to control workers to work more efficiently. efficient and purposely work below capacity that would increase productivity, which is called military service.
