"Management should not close its ears to any constructive suggestions made by the employees". Which principle of Scientific Management is referred here?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1 -> Science not Rule of Thumb focuses on using scientific methods and systematic study rather than traditional approaches, not about employee suggestions.

Option 2 -> Harmony, Not Discord emphasizes maintaining peaceful relations and avoiding conflicts between management and workers, but doesn't specifically address listening to suggestions.

Option 3 -> Cooperation, Not Individualism emphasizes mutual collaboration between management and workers, where both parties work together as a team, communicate openly, and management values employee input and suggestions.

Option 4 -> Development of Each and Every Person to His or Her Greatest Efficiency and Prosperity focuses on training and developing workers to reach their maximum potential, not about accepting suggestions.


Hence, Option 3: Cooperation, Not Individualism -> When management remains open to constructive suggestions from employees, it demonstrates cooperation and teamwork between both parties rather than working in isolation. This principle emphasizes that management and workers should cooperate with mutual give-and-take, respecting each other's ideas and working together for organizational success -> correct
