Which of the following is not a principle of scientific management?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

In The Principles of Scientific Management (1911), F.W. Taylor summarized the core principles of scientific management as: science, not rule of thumb; harmony, not discord; cooperation, not individualism; and maximum output, in place of restricted output. Therefore, 'Individualism rather than cooperation' reverses Taylor's principle and is not a principle of scientific management.
