Scientific management focused on improving efficiency through time and motion studies to determine the most effective way to perform tasks. Frederick Taylor conducted experiments using stopwatches to establish optimal work methods and broke jobs into small, repetitive tasks. This aimed to maximize productivity but reduced worker autonomy and satisfaction as tasks became more monotonous. While increasing output, scientific management was criticized for treating workers as machines and ignoring social needs.
