Increasing Human Efficiency in Business A Contribution to the Psychology of Business

"Increasing Human Efficiency in Business" by Walter Dill Scott is a book examining business during a time when machines were getting more advanced, but people's work skills were not changing as quickly. It suggests that businesses have improved how they make things but have not focused enough on making their workers better and more efficient. The writing focuses on the idea that by understanding the way people think and act, businesses can make their employees much more productive than before. It introduces the idea that people can do much better than what is normally expected if they are given the right encouragement and training by applying psychology to get more from the workers. The book promises to share ways to use the knowledge of the mind to drastically change how businesses operate by making each person more effective.
