Summary "The Psychology of Management" by Lillian Moller Gilbreth is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the intersection of psychology and management, particularly in how the mind influences work efficiency and management methods. The book aims to enhance understanding of the psychological aspects involved in both managing and working, underlining the importance of applying psychological principles to improve organizational productivity. The opening of the book presents a detailed outline of its purpose and scope, emphasizing the relevance of psychology in management practices. It introduces the concept of the "psychology of management," which explores how directed and undirected work affects both the quality of output and the mindset of workers. Gilbreth discusses the traditional views on management and highlights the shift towards a more scientific and systematic approach, particularly influenced by Fredrick W. Taylor's principles of Scientific Management. The text sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the fundamental ideas that underpin effective management practices, with emphasis on individual differences and effective instructional methods for workers.
