The concept of first-class workers was put forward by a famous American management practitioner and the father of scientific management. First-class workers need two conditions: first, they need the ability to do a certain job; Secondly, I am willing to do this kind of work.

In order to improve labor productivity, "first-class workers" must be selected for this job. The so-called first-class workers, Taylor believes that "every type of workers can find some jobs that make him first-class, except those who are completely capable of doing this job and are unwilling to do it."

When setting the work quota, Taylor takes "the speed of first-class workers maintaining longevity without damaging their health" as the standard. This speed is not based on surprise activities or continuous tension, but on the fact that workers can maintain normal speed for a long time.

The manager's responsibility is to find the most suitable job for the employee, train him into a first-class worker and motivate him to do his best.

Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856— 19 15), a famous American management scientist and economist, was called "the father of scientific management" by later generations, and his masterpiece was Principles of Scientific Management.
