In the early twentieth century, Frederick Taylor and others began a movement called scientific management. Taylor is important to the history of human relations because he showed how crucial the human element is in the performance of any organization. Like others in the scientific management movement, Taylor was concerned with increasing efficiency while getting as much work as possible out of employees. He stressed that managers should carefully select and train workers for specific tasks and try to motivate workers to increase productivity.
Frank and Lillian Gilbreth were pioneers in time and motion study. Their early work included refining the bricklaying process. Lillian Gilberth taught the importance of standard workdays, relaxed and regular lunch breaks, and periodic rest periods to workers. Her life's work helped influence Congress to pass child labor laws.
