Taylor’s four doctrines of management were one; use scientific methods instead of the rule of thumb to study the work.

The third rule is to watch the performance closely and offer supervision and instructions. The fourth doctrine as advanced by Taylor is to allocate jobs between workers and managers.

Introduction of the OSH Act

OSH Act was proposed due to the accidents that were being experienced in the industries. The industry- specific safety statutes were still being enacted at the period. Most of these statutes protected employees under the federal agency contractors, and those that dealt with maintenance. The health and safety issues were also limited to a number of unions that represented workers that were in hazardous industries. The most common hazardous industries back then were electrical industries, mining, construction and auto.

Abstract

Organizational structure influences the service delivery of the organization. Different organizational structures are used in healthcare organizations. These include bureaucratic structure, matrix, flat structure and hybrid organizational structure. Common in most health organizations is the bureaucratic structure that uses a top-down approach of management. However, due to certain challenges, organizations are using a hybrid organizational structure, as it eliminates the problems of using a single organizational structure.

Physical Security can be described as “the measures taken to protect systems, buildings, and the related supporting infrastructure against threats that are associated with the physical environment” (Krutz & Vines, 2004).

Social work is often misinterpreted in mainstream society as a job that one can simply walk into, knowing the ins and outs. Social workers have a job to better communities and families, and to do so appears to be a matter of common sense.

While it is true that much of what social workers do does involve common sense, they still have laws to abide by. There are still ethical codes ...

One of the main characteristics of transformational leaders is their ability to change things from their current order to an envisioned, better order. This ability requires vision for foreseeing how things could be better and strategy for bringing change (Kondalkar, 2009). Nevertheless, the ability to bring the change also requires taking risks and being aware of potential failures. Knowing failure and having previously failed represents an advantage for the transformational leaders, as paradoxical as it sounds. This is because individuals who failed know how to handle the failure and how to build on their own failure for getting back ...

The most appropriate response for the people in the book, Politics in the Trenches, roots in the perceptions of the people. As the saying goes, the spoken word happens, and if it does not happen, it is bound to happen. Indeed the perception of the citizens about politicians is corrupted by the stereotyping of all politicians (Kirkptrick & Lawrence, 81).
The stereotypical behaviour happens when a person changes in behaviour and recognition of people, who vote. The stereotyping of politicians ranges from different reasons that the voters validate to justify the reason for running for a political office. The reason for ...

"Never underestimate the other guy's greed." This isn't just a classic line from the 1983 Brian De Palma film Scarface, which was written by Oliver Stone. It also reflects the attitude that has caused the economic disaster we're now clawing ourselves out of. It is safe to say that at least part of the reason for the economic crash of 2008 can be attributed to a lack of ethical conscience on the part of the leaders in business, such as the executives, investment bankers, entrepreneurs, and everyone else whose decisions affected the financial well- being of other people. In this regard, ...

Retirement income in the United States (US) fundamentally comes from Social Security. More than a third of the elderly beneficiaries of Social Security rely almost entirely on it for their income (more than 90%), making up the total of two-thirds of them whose reliance on it accounts for more than half their income (Brossoie, 2010; NASI, 2014; Poterba, 2014). Having kept around 22 million Americans out of poverty, Social Security remains an integral program favorably viewed by many (Poterba, 2014).

Often the news reports on the multi-million dollar salary packages, promotion deals, and signing bonuses for athletes in every sporting discipline.

The society sees athletes running around, passing a ball or kicking a ball, or merely moving from one point to the other on the field, yet they make money that the professional teacher will never earn honestly in his lifetime. The question many individuals ask is: why are professional athletes making so much more money than professional teachers? The answer is simple, yet it makes no sense. Clearly, ...

For the past few decades reports on teacher’s performance in relation to motivation have hit the country’s media. Although the concept of improving on teachers attention seems new to many policy makers, the discussion started as early as in 1860’s. During this time teachers were required to place their focus on moral character of students more than their performance (Brandt, 1990). A high percentage of teachers by then were women who had elementary education qualifications, and who could leave the field once they got married.
As a result of industrialization, the purpose and duties of schools ...

The effect of minimum wage on employment has been one of the most explored topic in the discipline of labor economics. During the global recession that plagued the world recently, the rate of employment for the low-skilled and young workers (who comprise the largest component of all minimum workers) worsened disproportionately. Traditionally, some economists have argued that the imposition of a minimum wage that is above the market clearing equilibrium wage reduces employment and at the same time contributes to unemployment particularly among the relatively unskilled as well as the young workers. This is quite ironical given that this is ...

Bureaucracy as a management of an organization by non-elected officials has long been there in society and firms since 20th century. This form of organization is prevalent both in the public and private sector. The evidence of techno-management or technology management being usurped by bureaucracy is plentiful. For example, techno-managers need for control and domination is evidenced by their language at work by use of words and phrases such as “how many people work for you?”, “subordinates,” “my people” and “staying on top of things,” etc. These indicate the necessity of separating bureaucracy from techno-management; while doing so, one encounters ...

There are three things I value more in life than anything else –education, camaraderie and integrity. However, these does not mean that everything else is worthless or has no value to me.
