(iii)

OR
(b)

Marking-scheme solution
• (a) Division of work
Work is divided into small tasks/ jobs and each task
is performed by trained employee or specialist who is
• competent is required to perform each job.
This results in efficient and effective output.
• Remuneration of employees
The overall pay and compensation should be fair to
• both employees and the organisation.
The employees should be paid fair wages, which
should give them at least a reasonable standard of
living. At the same time , it should be within the
• paying capacity of the company.
This will ensure congenial atmosphere and good
relations between workers and management.
Consequently, the working of the company would be
smooth.
• Subordination of individual interest to general interest:
The interests of an organisation should take priority
over, or supersede the interests of any one individual
• employee.
This is so because larger interests of the workers and
stakeholders are more important than the interest of
any one person.
OR
Q. (b) Explain the following techniques of scientific
management:
(i)
Differential piece-wage system
(b)
(ii)
Standardisation and simplification of work
• Differential piece-wage system
In order to differentiate between efficient and
inefficient workers, and reward efficient workers,
there should be different rate of wage payment for
those who performed above standard and for those
• who performed below standard.
According to Taylor, the difference would be enough
for the inefficient worker to be motivated to perform
better.
• Standardization and simplification of work
Standardisation refers to the process of setting
• standards for every business activity.
These standards are the benchmarks, which must be
• adhered to during production.
Simplification aims at eliminating superfluous
varieties, sizes and dimensions while standardisation
implies devising new varieties instead of the existing
ones. Simplification aims at eliminating unnecessary
• diversity of products.
It results in savings of cost of labour, machines and
tools. It implies reduced inventories, fuller utilisation
of equipment and increasing turnover.
