Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: Smith felt that breaking down complex jobs into simple, repetitive tasks could allow a single worker to increase speed and thus increase productivity. Smith's idea was true, as division of labor is seen to increase productivity, but only up to a point.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Taylor was searching for efficiency rather than worker satisfaction. He wanted to find the one best way to do a job so all workers in an organization could use that method and become more productive.
