he requisite standards than is the case under Traditional Management. EFFECT OF FUNCTIONALIZATION UPON THE WORKER.--Under Traditional Management, even if the worker often becomes functionalized, he seldom has assurance that he will be able to reap the harvest from remaining so, and even so, neither data nor teaching are provided to enable him to fulfill his function most successfully. Under Transitory Management the worker becomes more and more functionalized, as the results of motion study and time study make clear the advantages of specializing the worker. EFFECTS UPON THE SCIENTIFICALLY MANAGED WORKER.--Under Scientific Management the effects of Functionalization are so universal and so far reaching that it is necessary to enumerate them in detail. WORKER RELIEVED OF EVERYTHING BUT HIS SPECIAL FUNCTIONS.-- Functionalization, in providing that every man is assigned a special function, also provides that he be called upon to do work in that function only, relieving him of all other work and responsibility.

ONE-TALENT MEN UTILIZED--.With Functionalization, men who lack qualifications for the position which they may, at the start, endeavor to fill, may be transferred to other positions, where the qualities they lack are not required. If a man has one talent, Scientific Management provides a place where that can be utilized. For example:-- Men who cannot produce the prescribed output constantly, are placed on other work.
