THE RELEVANCE OF SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT THEORY IN TODAY’S TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN WORKPLACES​

This paper explores the relevance of Frederick W. Taylor’s Scientific Management theory in contemporary technology-driven workplaces. By examining the principles of the theory and applying them to modern industries, the study assesses whether Taylor’s ideas still hold value in today’s organizational practices. Through a comparative analysis of traditional and modern applications, the paper identifies the benefits and limitations of Scientific Management in enhancing efficiency and productivity. The findings suggest that while certain aspects of Taylor’s principles remain pertinent, their rigid application is often unsuitable for dynamic and innovative industries. The paper concludes with recommendations for integrating Taylor’s efficiency-driven approach with modern management practices that prioritize flexibility, innovation, and employee well-being.
