Summary: "Increasing Human Efficiency in Business" by Walter Dill Scott is a scientific publication written during the early 20th century. The book explores the concept of human efficiency within the business environment, emphasizing the need to elevate individual and collective performance to match advancements in machinery and production methods. Scott argues that while technological progress has been immense, the human element in the workforce remains underdeveloped and holds significant potential for improvement. At the start of this work, Scott sets the stage by discussing the dramatic transformations in business methods and tools, acknowledging that although production techniques have vastly improved, human efficiency has not kept pace. He delves into the psychological aspects that influence human performance, stating that understanding these factors is crucial to maximizing productivity. The initial chapter lays down the premise that individual workers can vastly outperform an average output level when properly motivated and trained, using the insights of psychology to suggest that enhancing human efficiency could revolutionize business practices. He hints at the methodologies and strategies that will be discussed in subsequent chapters to harness and improve this efficiency. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
