Identify and explain the principles of Taylor and Fayol referred in the above para.

Answer

Taylors principle of management which says, management should not close its ears to any constructive suggestions made by the employees, is Cooperation. There should be complete cooperation between the labour and the management instead of individualism. They should be part of management and, if any important decisions are taken, workers should be taken into confidence.
According to Fayol’s principle of management, Workers should be encouraged to develop and carry out their plans for improvements. It is based upon the principle of initiative. Initiative means taking the first step with self-motivation. It is thinking out and executing the plan. Initiative should be encouraged. A good company should have an employee suggestion system whereby initiative/ suggestions which result in substantial cost/time reduction should be rewarded.
