Recent trends like "lean production" and "McDonaldisation" indicate
that Taylorism is a persistent, underlying principle of many
organisations. Despite global competition and the need for speed,
flexibility and quality, still the principle of Taylorism remains
in the contemporary workplace. Moreover, information technology is
often being used in way's that reinforce Taylorist patterns. For
some this may be a fact of life. Hans D. Pruijt argues that this is
not the case. There is a countermovement, particularly in
North-West Europe where viable alternatives are being purseued.
But, a systematic analysis of the resulting change of
anti-Taylorist practice at shop-floor level has been lacking. This
text fills this gap by analyzing 150 cases of anti-Taylorist
initiatives in Scandinavia, the UK and the Netherlands. An example
of anti-Taylorist principles working towards job enrichment can be
seen in Germany; it also examines the role of state policy,
research and consultancy in an experiment at Bosch where assembly
workers learned testing skills.
