Over a century has passed and yet there is growing evidence that knowledge workers across the globe today are as constrained by F.W. Taylor's much maligned The Principles of Scientific Management, as factory workers in the early twentieth century. Re-Tayloring Management looks critically at Taylor's philosophy, contrasting this with more contemporary perspectives that have emerged with the professionalization of management and the growth in business and management education. The evidence suggest the 'ghost of Taylor' is very much alive in high skill/low cost knowledge and service roles across the globe. That despite the complexity and uncertainty that organizations face, managers are obsessed with maintaining tighter control. This approach flies in the face of contemporary job design principles with its emphasis on OCyjob craftingOCO, where individuals are encouraged to craft their role in a way that is congruent with their identity."

Over a century has passed and yet there is growing evidence that knowledge workers across the globe today are as constrained by F.W. Taylor's much-maligned The Principles of Scientific Management, as factory workers were in the early twentieth century. Re-Tayloring Management looks critically at Taylor's philosophy on management and contrasts it with other perspectives that have since emerged, along with the professionalization of management and the growth in business and management education. The contributors demonstrate that despite the complexity and uncertainty that organizations face, instead of designing work systems where knowledge and service workers have the freedom to apply knowledge and skills at the point they are most needed, managers are obsessed with maintaining tighter control. This approach conflicts with contemporary job design principles, which emphasise 'job crafting', whereby individuals are encouraged to craft their role in a way that is congruent with their identity. Drawing on insights from academics with diverse backgrounds and interests, and organised around 'past', 'present' and 'future' themes, this book is a thought-provoking read for professional managers, as well as for postgraduate students and academics teaching and researching organizational studies and management.
