Unemployment - Workers feel that management reduces employment opportunities from them
through replacement of men by machines and by increasing human productivity less workers are
needed to do work leading to chucking out from their jobs.
Exploitation - Workers feel they are exploited as they are not given due share in increasing
profits which is due to their increased productivity. Wages do not rise in proportion as rise in
production. Wage payment creates uncertainty & insecurity (beyond a standard output, there is
no increase in wage rate).
Monotony - Due to excessive specialization the workers are not able to take initiative on their
own. Their status is reduced to being mere cogs in wheel. Jobs become dull. Workers loose
interest in jobs and derive little pleasure from work.
Weakening of Trade Union - To everything is fixed & predetermined by management. So it
leaves no room for trade unions to bargain as everything is standardized, standard output,
standard working conditions, standard time etc; This further weakens trade unions, creates a rift
between efficient & in efficient workers according to their wages.
Over speeding - the scientific management lays standard output, time so they have to rush up
and finish the work in time. These have adverse effect on health of workers. The workers speed
up to that standard output, so scientific management drives the workers to rush towards output
and finish work in standard time.
