Taylor, Frederick Winslow
- Taylor, Frederick Winslow
(1856–1917) Gen Mgt
U.S. engineer. Acknowledged as the father of scientific management, which is sometimes referred to as “Taylorism.” Taylor’s methods, recorded in The Principles of Scientific Management (1911), have been criticized as too mechanistic, treating people like machines rather than human beings to be motivated. They were later counterbalanced by the human relations school of management.
Taylor grew up in an affluent Philadelphia family. He worked as chief engineer at the Midvale Steel Company, and later became general manager of the Manufacturing Investment Company’s paper mills in Maine. In 1893 he moved to New York and began business as a consulting engineer.
