- W101196468 abstract "AbstractDevelopments in thought since the publication of Frederick W. Taylor's The Principles of Scientific Management have taken the notion of too seriously while overlooking the fact that Taylor's interest was aimed at using principles to enhance management. Such a of Taylorism leads to scientism and an overemphasis on the entailed rationality concept. In this article, we point to several resulting from scientism. Management thoughts and research had suffered from such deficiencies over the past century. If researchers do not heed such concerns, these problems are likely to continue and undermine practices and research in the future. We suggest two strategies to remedy these deficiencies, to cure scientism, and to return to Taylor's true interest in management. The first strategy relies on an philosophy that encourages managers and researchers to enhance their awareness and expand their understanding. The second strategy calls for managers and researchers to consider not only as a science but also as an art. With broadened perspectives, the two strategies can give new meanings and life to Taylorism in the future.Keywordsscientific management, Taylorism, edificationIntroductionIn his book, Anxiety of Influence, Harold Bloom (1973) suggests the power of the poet comes from his or her strong of predecessors. Such a reading reconstitutes the past as appropriated by the would-be genius of the present (Hall, 1994). We can paraphrase Bloom and assert that since Frederick W. Taylor published The Principles of Scientific Management in 1911, developments in thought have arisen from a strong of Taylor's work.Bureaucrats, corporatists, scientists, and others have taken the notion of so seriously as to overlook the fact that Taylor's scientific management aims to use principles to enhance management. Under a strong of Taylorism, most thinkers and scholars have focused on turning into a science. They, in turn, have transformed the spirit of into scientism.This article points out that such a strong and overemphasis on scientism (as well as its entailed rationality concept) has directed thoughts on and research during the last century and led to several that are not healthy for management. Two strategies for practice and research will be useful for remedying these deficiencies, to cure scientism and return to Taylor's true interest in management. The first strategy calls for managers and researchers to examine and revise constantly their frameworks of understanding. The second strategy calls for managers and researchers to consider not just as a science but also as an art. These two strategies, in a sense, are an actualization of edification philosophy. One may call these two strategies another strong of Taylorism. After all, Taylor would not have envisioned these strategies in his management. However, the two strategies contain some of the spirit of management. Moreover, with a broadened perspective and an expanded understanding, the two strategies give new meanings and new life to Taylorism.The organization of the rest of this article is as follows: Section 2 gives an overview on the deficiencies caused by the misreading of Taylor's management. Section 3 proposes an edification philosophy to remedy these deficiencies. Section 4 further suggests the need to go beyond science to incorporate art into management. Section 5 concludes the article by suggesting future directions for subsequent research.The Over-Trodden RoadThere have been various thoughts developed since Taylor published his master work (e.g., George, 1972; Howell, 1995; Wren & Bedeian, 2008). …" @default.
