(a) is fostered through the play element, has been
scientifically studied, and is utilized as far as
possible; the same is true of the love of work, which
is reënforced by the fact that the man has been placed
where he will have the most love for his work.
(b) is insured by the love of contest, which is provided
for not only by contest with others, but by the
constant contest of the worker with his own previous
records. When he does exceed these records he utilizes
powers which it is for his good physically, as well as
otherwise, to utilize.
RESULTS OF PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT.--This regularity, good habits,
and physical development, result in good health, increased strength
and a better appearance. To these three results all scientific
managers testify. An excellent example of this is found in Mr.
Gantt's "Work, Wages and Profits," where the increased health, the
better color and the better general appearance of the workers under
Scientific Management is commented on as well as the fact that they
are inspired by their habits to dress themselves better and in every
way to become of a higher type.[2]
MENTAL DEVELOPMENT.--Welfare under Scientific Management is
provided for by Mental Development. This we may discuss under
habits, and under general mental development.
