Scientific Management

Scientific Management Scientific management is a management theory that analyzes workflows to improve economic efficiency, especially labor productivity. It implies the use of scientific methods in making decisions and acting on organizational problems and situations. This management theory, developed by Frederick Winslow Taylor, was popular in the 1880s and 1890s in U.S. manufacturing industries. While the terms “scientific management” and “Taylorism” are often treated as synonymous, a more accurate view is that Taylorism is the first form of scientific management. Taylorism is sometimes called the “classical perspective,” meaning that it is still observed for its influence but no longer practiced exclusively. Scientific management was best known from 1910 to 1920, but in the 1920s, competing management theories and methods emerged, rendering scientific management largely obsolete by the 1930s. However, many of the themes of scientific management are still seen in industrial eng...

Laws Against Rape in Nigeria

The good book says, “where there is no law, there is no offence” . In criminal law, there is a principle called Nullum crimen sine lege (Latin for "no crime without law."). It says that a person cannot or should not face criminal punishment except for an act that is criminalized by law before he/she committed it (okay, I promise this is the only legal jargon you’ll see in this article). Amidst growing and disturbing reports of rape and other sexual and gender-based violence, especially against women and children in Nigeria, there is also growing interest in provisions of the law that provide protection to women and victims of gender-based violence. In contribution to the global awareness campaign for the protection of women from gender-based violence, it is an asset to be knowledgeable on the existing legal framework for protecting the rights of victims and survivors in search of justice. This article also serves as a warning to potential offenders, of the punishment tha...

The Ringelmann effect and how it contributes to our modern day understanding of teamwork and team dynamics.

The Ringelmann effect and how it contributes to our modern-day understanding of teamwork and team dynamics. The Ringelmann effect, also known as social loafing, refers to the phenomenon where individual effort in a group decreases as the size of the group increases (Kravitz & Martin, 1986). Max Ringelmann, a French engineer and psychologist, first discovered this effect in the early 20th century. Ringelmann conducted experiments in which participants pulled on a rope individually and as part of a group, finding that as the number of people pulling the rope increased, each individual exerted less effort (Ingham et al., 1974). The Ringelmann effect has contributed to our modern-day understanding of teamwork and team dynamics by highlighting the challenges of managing and optimizing group performance. Research has shown that the Ringelmann effect can occur in a wide range of team settings and can negatively impact team performance and productivity in two major ways. (Hoffman, 2023) Fi...
