dissatisfaction.

and labor productivity.
F. Taylor said: employees should be put to one speci c task where their skills can be used best to improve
e ciency and labor productivity
Bureaucratic organization: to avoid employees being loyal to an individual rather than a organization. This
leads to listening to the desires of an individual instead of the desires of a company.
