It is hard to examine the topics of monitoring through technology and examining workplace productivity through metrics in the workplace without considering the impact of “Taylorism.”
Key components of Taylorism.
Developed by Frederick Winslow Taylor, commonly referred to as “Taylorism.”
Taylorism sought to study each task being performed and allocate a time necessary to perform that task.
Taylor developed the term “Soldering” which is “underworking, that is, deliberately working slowly so as to avoid doing a full days work.” (Taylor, 1912).
