Explain the technique of Scientific Management which is the strongest motivator for a worker to reach standard performance.

Answer»

Differential Piece Wage System:

(i) Taylor wanted to differentiate between efficient and inefficient workers.

(ii) He wanted to reward efficient workers and introduced two rates of wage payment for those who performed equivalent to or above standard and for those who performed below standard.

(iii) The difference in the wage was enough for the inefficient worker to be motivated to perform better.

e.g., Standard output (per worker per day) = 10 units

Wage rate I = Rs.2 per unit (for output < 10 units)

Wage rate II = Rs.3 per unit (for output > 10 units)

ParticularsWorker AWorker B
Output
Total wages		9 units
9 x 2 = 18		11 units
11 x 3 = 33

Difference in units produced= 2

Difference in wages = Rs.15
