Fayol vs Taylor

Correct answer: B. Simplification

Simplification saves resources by reducing unnecessary variety. In exams link simplification with variety reduction.

Correct answer: A. Because it relates to real team unity and morale

Esprit de corps increases cooperation and group strength in organisation. In exams link esprit de corps with morale.

Correct answer: A. To take the person to highest efficiency and prosperity

Taylor stressed increasing a person's capacity through scientific selection and training. In exams link development of each person with Taylor principle.

Correct answer: A. Gang plank

Gang plank enables direct communication between same levels in urgent situations. In exams remember it as an exception to scalar chain.

Correct answer: C. Maximum prosperity of both employer and employee

Taylor considered maximum prosperity of both sides as the goal. In exams link mutual prosperity with Taylor.

Correct answer: A. Employee satisfaction and firm's paying capacity

The direct answer is employee satisfaction and the firm’s paying capacity, option A. Fayol’s principle of remuneration says that payment should be fair and satisfactory for both parties. The worker should receive a reasonable reward for effort and contribution, while the organisation must be able to afford the payment and remain financially sound. Step by step: remuneration means payment; fair remuneration must consider the employee’s needs and satisfaction; it must also consider the firm’s financial capacity; therefore the important balance is between employee satisfaction and the firm’s paying capacity. Option A is correct for exactly this reason. Option B, machine speed and colour, has no connection with wages or fairness. Option C, advertising and packaging, concerns marketing and presentation, not remuneration. Option D, motion study and fatigue study, belongs mainly to Taylor’s scientific management techniques and does not state the two-sided fairness required by Fayol. Memory cue: fair pay must be fair to the worker and possible for the organisation.

Correct answer: B. Balance of centralisation and decentralisation

Fayol wants balance in authority distribution according to situation. In exams do not treat absolute centralisation as Fayol's ideal.

Correct answer: A. Taylor is more based on work measurement and experiment while Fayol is based on administrative experience

Taylor developed ideas from scientific study and Fayol from administrative experience. In exams focus on source of ideas.

Correct answer: A. Employees giving thoughtful useful suggestions

Initiative increases creativity and responsible participation of employees. In exams link initiative with innovation.

Correct answer: A. The first stresses joint work and the second stresses conflict free relations

Both relate to cooperation but their emphasis differs. In exams identify the nuance of similar principles.

Correct answer: A. Subordination of individual interest to general interest

The general interest of the organisation should be above departmental interest. In exams link departmental conflict with general interest.

Correct answer: A. Standardisation and scientific work arrangement

Taylor stressed scientific standardisation of tools and work conditions. In exams link tools and conditions with Taylor techniques.

Correct answer: C. Linking Fayol with functional foremanship

The direct answer is option C: linking Fayol with functional foremanship. Fayol and Taylor both contributed to management, but their main areas were different. Fayol gave general administrative principles such as division of work, unity of command, scalar chain and esprit de corps. Taylor gave scientific management, including time study, motion-related work improvement and functional foremanship. Functional foremanship divides supervision among specialised foremen, so it belongs to Taylor, not Fayol. Option A is correct as a normal pairing because Fayol is linked with general management. Option B is correct because Taylor is linked with scientific management. Option C is the erroneous pairing and therefore the answer. Option D is also a correct pairing because time study is associated with Taylor. The question asks for the difficult comparative error, so identify the one incorrect name-and-contribution match. Memory cue: Fayol manages the organisation; Taylor scientifically manages the task.

Correct answer: A. It gives one direction to efforts of all departments

Coordination links different organisational efforts with one goal. In exams link coordination with Fayol's functions.

Correct answer: A. Because their old habits change with a measurement based new method

Scientific management changes old guess based methods so resistance is possible. In exams link resistance with change in work method.

Correct answer: A. Unity of command links an employee to one superior and unity of direction links same goal with one plan

Both are Fayol principles but one relates to source of order and the other to plan direction. In exams keep both unity concepts separate.

Correct answer: A. Which movement should be removed to save worker energy

Motion study identifies and removes unnecessary movements. In exams link motion study with wasted movement.

Correct answer: A. Because they provide broad guidance for general management

Fayol's principles can apply to different departments and institutions. In exams link Fayol with universal management.

Correct answer: A. When they are made only a tool of pressure without human cooperation

Taylor also stressed cooperation and mental revolution. In exams do not see Taylor as only a pressure system.

Correct answer: A. Clarity in structure and efficiency in work

Fayol gives order and Taylor improves work method. In exams also understand them as complementary.

Correct answer: A. Fayol initiative and Taylor method study

Initiative is Fayol's principle and method study is Taylor's technique. In exams match principle versus technique carefully.

Correct answer: A. Taylor measures quantity and time of specific work while Fayol guides organisational operations

Taylor focuses on measurable shop floor work and Fayol on administrative guidance. In exams keep measurement and guidance separate.

Correct answer: A. Equity and discipline

Equity gives fair treatment and discipline ensures rule compliance. In exams connect concepts in combined application questions.

Correct answer: A. Fayol's unity of direction and Taylor's method study

Unity of direction clarifies the goal and method study gives the right method. In exams combined application shows deeper understanding.

Correct answer: A. Formal hierarchy is Fayol's scalar chain and specialist supervisors are Taylor's functional foremanship

Scalar chain shows authority line and functional foremanship shows specialist supervision. In exams match clues with the correct theorist.
