Question

Name the technique of Taylor which is the strongest motivator for workers to reach standard performance.

Answer 1

The technique of 'Differential Piece Rate system' is the strongest motivator for workers to reach standard performance. In this technique, a worker which produces standard output in a stipulated time, is rewarded with a higher piece rate. Whereas, a worker who fails to produce the standard output gets penalised with a lower piece rate. This motivates the workers to strive for a better performance to get paid at a higher rate.
