Description
Summary:The author contends that creative work by the workmen in the industries is not only possible, but that with it there can be introduced a personal interest in the work alike beneficial to the employee and employer. Accounts are given of instances where this has been accomplished, through supplying foremen and workmen with information upon costs, methods of operation, possibilities in the direction of economy and efficiency, etc. Progress records are also furnished so that the employee will know from day to day how he is improving in the mastery of the process upon which he is engaged. Freedom to express one’s individuality in constructive work, properly restrained by law, is considered by the author to be essential.
