The Human Factor In Works Management (1912)

The Human Factor in Works Management, written by James Hartness and originally published in 1912, is a seminal work in the field of industrial management. The book explores the role of human psychology and behavior in the workplace, arguing that the success of a business depends not only on its technological and mechanical systems, but also on the attitudes and motivations of its workers.Hartness draws on his own experience as a successful industrialist and inventor, as well as on the latest research in psychology and management theory, to make his case for the importance of the ""human factor"" in works management. He discusses topics such as employee motivation, communication, training, and leadership, offering practical advice and real-world examples to illustrate his points.Throughout the book, Hartness stresses the importance of treating workers as individuals, rather than as interchangeable cogs in a machine. He argues that a happy and motivated workforce is essential for productivity and profitability, and that managers must take an active role in creating a positive work environment.Although The Human Factor in Works Management is now over a century old, its insights and advice remain relevant and valuable for managers and business leaders today. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of industrial management, as well as for those seeking to improve their own leadership skills and create a more effective and humane workplace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
