Adam Smith found that having employees focus on one task instead of many was more successful than having them learn a number of different tasks. In other words, he believed that ______ would lead to more successful organizational performance.

Respuesta :

Answer:

specialization

Explanation:

In order for labor specialization (or division of labor) to be successful, first the productive activities must be separated into smaller tasks, and then each worker will be responsible for performing just one task. That way the worker can specialize in performing that one task, and his/her efficiency should increase.

Labor specialization was the basic idea behind Henry Ford's moving assembly line. Each specialized worker was responsible for one manufacturing task and that decreased total production time and cost. The same concept applies today and the results are still the same.
