Question:

What does Taylor believe is a consequence of a mental revolution in both management and workers?

Options:

Increased conflicts

Decreased efficiency

Greater harmony between management and workers

A decline in worker prosperity

Correct Answer:

Greater harmony between management and workers

Explanation:

Taylor believed that a mental revolution on the part of both management and workers was necessary. This mental revolution implies a transformation in thinking. The expected consequence of such a transformation, according to Taylor, is greater harmony between management and workers. The idea is that if both parties recognize and appreciate each other's importance, there will be a more cooperative and harmonious relationship in the workplace. This shift in mindset is meant to mitigate the possibility of class-conflict and foster a collaborative environment where both management and workers work towards shared goals.
