 Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a
jointly cherished goal. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation,
based on group organization and attitudes.

In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse. The group contains
nearly all of each individual’s life. The rewards of the group’s works are shared with each member.
There is an interlocking identity of individual, group, and task performed. Means and goals become
one, for cooperation itself is valued.

While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary

cooperation is characteristic of many modern societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals
devote only part of their lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of the
group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration. Members perform
tasks so that they can separately enjoy fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary, prestige, or
power. Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation.

In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the
shared work. The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic; the organization is
loose and fragile. Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals; it breaks
when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking,
cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is
sometimes used for this relationship.

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
Although management principles have been implemented since ancient times, most
management scholars trace the beginning of modern management thought back to the early 1900s,
beginning with the pioneering work of Frederick Taylor (1856-1915) Taylor was the first person to
study work scientifically. He is most famous for introducing techniques of time and motion study,
differential piece rate systems, and for systematically specializing the work of operating employees
and managers. Along with other pioneers such as Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, Taylor set the stage,

5
labeling his philosophy and methods “scientific management’. At that time, his philosophy, which
was concerned with productivity, but which was often misinterpreted as promoting worker interests
at the expense of management, was in marked contrast to the prevailing industrial norms of worker
exploitation.
The time and motion study concepts were popularized by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. The
Gilbreths had 12 children. By analyzing his children’s dishwashing and bedmaking chores, this
pioneer efficiency expert, Frank Gilbreth, hit on principles whereby workers could eliminate waste
motion. He was memorialized by two of his children in their 1949 book called “Cheaper by the
Dozen”.
The Gilbreth methods included using stop watches to time worker movements and special
tools (cameras and special clocks) to monitor and study worker performance, and also involved
identification of “therbligs” (Gilbreth spelled backwards) – basic motions used in production jobs.
Many of these motions and accompanying times have been used to determine how long it should
take a skilled worker to perform a given job. In this way an industrial engineer can get a handle on
the approximate time it should take to produce a product or provide a service. However, use of
work analysis in this way is unlikely to lead to useful results unless all five work dimensions are
considered: physical, psychological, social, cultural, and power.
