Explanation:

This question fits better with the work of the management scholar Taylor.

Scientific Administration, or Taylorism, is the administration model proposed by Frederick Taylor, whose principles are based on focus on tasks and greater operational efficiency of employees. For him, the act of managing should be seen as a science. The work should be carried out with economy of effort and maximum efficiency, so he believed that employees should be selected according to their skills and trained to perform their job with maximum effectiveness. From there emerged the rationalization of work and the division of functions, greater control over the execution of work, discipline and the singularization of functions. Taylor also proposed increasing wages and benefits, as a way to optimize work and the perception of workers, which increased their satisfaction and also productivity.
