Division of Work Work should be divided among individuals and groups to ensure that effort and attention are focused on special portions of the task. Henri Fayol presented work specialization as the best way to use the human resources of the organization. 2. Authority and Responsibility The concepts of authority and responsibility are closely related. Authority was defined by Fayol as the right to give orders and the power to exact obedience. Responsibility involves being accountable, and is therefore naturally associated with authority. Whoever assumes authority also assumes responsibility. Discipline A successful organization requires the common effort of workers. Penalties should be applied judiciously to encourage this common effort. 4.

It is argued that the principal object of hotel management should be securing the maximum prosperity for the hotel employer, coupled with the vaximum prosperity for each hotel employee. The most important object of both fotel management and employee should be the training and development of each individual in the hotel establishment, so that he can do the highest class of work ing nich his natural abies fit him, Its demonstrated that maximum prosperity can exist only as a result of maximum productivity, both for the management and individual, and rebuked the idea that the fundamental interest of employees and employers are necessarily antagonistic. It is described how most all hotel workers deliberately work slowly, or soldier” to protect their interests. According to Taylor, there were three reasons for the ineffiency: First. The fallacy, which has from time memorial, been almost universal among women, that a material increase in the output of each machine in the trade world result in the end in flowing a large number of men out of work. Second. The defective system of management which are in common use, and which make it necessary for each workman to soldier. Third. The inefficient rule-of-thumb methods, which are still almost universal in all trades, and in practicing which our workmen waste a large part of their effort. Taylor argued that the cheapening of any article in common use almost immediately results in a largely increased demand for that article, creating additional work contradicting the first belief. As to the second cause, Taylor pointed to quotes form ‘Shop Management’ to help explain how current management styles caused workers to soldiers. He explained the natural tendency of men to take it easy as distinct from systematic soldering due to thought and reasoning, and how bringing men together at a standard rate of pay exacerbated this problem. He described how under standard day, piece, or contact work it was in the workers’ interest to work slowly and hide how fast work can actually be done, and the antagonism between workers and management must change. For the third cost, Taylor noted the enormous saving of time and increase in output that could be obtained by eliminating unnecessary movements and substituting faster movements, which can only be realized after, emotion and time study by a competent man. While there are perhaps “50,50 or a hundred ways of doing each act in each trade”, “there is always one method and one implement Which is quicker and better that any of the best”. 47 aem ent t. agen managemen tific MA tific M4! res of sae incites of scien pest system of manag prince ned PO dered the his system, manage, song wrath eCngincentNe pest effort.
