Un extrait de livre explore les origines du taylorisme

Un nouvel extrait de livre détaille l'émergence de l'organisation scientifique du travail à la fin du XIXe siècle.

Frederick Winslow Taylor a débuté sa carrière à la Midvale Steel Company dans les années 1880. Il s'est opposé aux ouvriers sur les cadences de production après être devenu chef d'équipe. Taylor a par la suite appliqué des études de temps à la Bethlehem Steel Company en 1899, se concentrant sur les chargeurs de fonte, dont Henry Noll. En 1914, il a témoigné devant la Commission on Industrial Relations, défendant ses méthodes face aux critiques de représentants syndicaux tels que John F. Tobin. Cet extrait est tiré de Control Science par Henry Snow, publié aux éditions Verso Books.
