there is one best way for each job to be done what the way of doing job
depends on the situations and conditions.

management is mechanistic. It is more useful for only stable and simple

consider the human element. Taylor considered worker as robots, which
can speed of the work at any cost.
3. Neglect human aspects of workers: the scientific management neglects
women respect of workers at the workplace. They are treated is
machine. Importance was given to productivity which creates
aggressive attitude among workers. Therefore, many employees joined
trade union. This also resulted in mistrust between management and
employees.
