Yess... The main aim of scientific management is to develop all men to their greatest efficiency and prosperity. The specific objectives are to enhance production and productivity, decrease cost of production and maximise prosperity both for employer and employees having common interests (not opposite to each other).

Answer 2

Yes, scientific management aims at efficiency at the cost of the initiative.

• Scientific management is a theory of management that analyzes and synthesizes workflows.
• Scientific management strives to apply scientific methods to each and every element of management.

• It focuses on developing a well-researched, monotonous, and best way of doing a job.
• This way of management removes the initiative from the hands of managers and workers and replaces it with a single method based on scientific methods and studies.
• This removal of the initiative is focused on improving the productivity of the workers and developing them to their greatest efficiency and prosperity.
• Thus, it is clear that scientific management aims at efficiency at the cost of the initiative.
