Summary

Industrialized societies have been greatly influenced by the efficiency movement of Taylorism. Greater efficiency has increased productivity, which in turn has increased in most workers’ standards of living. At the same time, Taylorism has caused these workers’ jobs to become repetitive and uncreative, making the work less inherently worthwhile.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

Some industrial developments can both benefit and harm workers in different ways.
