(a) wider interest.
(b) deeper interest.
(c) increased mental capabilities.
The better method of attack would necessarily provide for wider
interest. The fact that any subject taken up is in its ultimate
final unit form, would certainly lead to deeper interest; and the
exercise of these two faculties leads to increased mental
capabilities.
MORAL DEVELOPMENT.--Moral development under Scientific
Management results from the provisions made for cultivating--
1. personal responsibility.
2. responsibility for others.
3. appreciation of standing.
4. self-control.
5. "squareness."
1. Personal responsibility is developed by
(a) Individual recognition. When the worker was considered
merely as one of a gang, it was very easy for him to
shift responsibilities upon others. When he knows that
he is regarded by the management, and by his mates, as
an individual, that what he does will show up in an
individual record, and will receive individual reward
or punishment, necessarily personal responsibility is
developed.
Moreover, this individual recognition is brought to his mind by
his being expected to fill out his own instruction card. In this
way, his personal responsibility is specifically brought home
to him.
(b) The appreciation which comes under Scientific
Management. This appreciation takes the form of reward
and promotion, and of the regard of his fellow-workers;
therefore, being a growing thing, as it is under
Scientific Management, it insures that his personal
responsibility, shall also be a growing thing, and
become greater the longer he works under Scientific
Management.
