True or False

Solution

This statement is true because of the following reasons.

Taylor's Principles of Scientific Management includes  Scientific Selection, Training and Development of Workers:

The procedure for the selection of workers should be designed scientifically. The errors committed at the time of selection may prove o be very costly later on. If we do not have the right workers for the right job, the efficiency of the organisation will be reduced.
Therefore, every organisation should follow a scientific system of selection. The selected workers should be trained to avoid wrong methods of work. Management is responsible for the scientific education and training of workers. It must provide opportunities for the development of workers having better capabilities.
