Fayol vs Taylor

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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