Match Taylor's principles (List I) with their meaning (List II). I. Science, not rule of thumb; II. Harmony, not discord; III. Cooperation, not individualism; IV. Development of each person to greatest efficiency. 1. Mutual trust between management and workers; 2. Scientific selection and training of workers; 3. Replace guesswork with enquiry and standard methods; 4. Joint effort and no restriction of output.
The correct matching is I-3, II-1, III-4, IV-2. Science replaces rule of thumb with standard methods, harmony means management-worker trust, cooperation means joint effort without output restriction, and developing each person means scientific selection and training.
