Question

On which principle of Fayol, Taylor's technique of functional foremanship is based?

Answer 1

Taylor's technique of functional foremanship is based on the principle of Division of Work. Division of Work talks about dividing the work into small groups for ease and efficiency. When a person with the required knowledge performs a task, he will give better results than a person with no knowledge. This is where the concept of specialisation comes into the picture. A big team with no specialised personnel but a single personnel with specialisation can give better results.
