The Road to the Future: A Trade-Union Commission for Self-Analysis
The common conviction throughout current debate on the American trade-union movement is that the need is serious for self-analysis and appraisal of union policies, struc tures, operations, and personnel. Examination by an internal body is necessary. There is agreement within the trade-union movement that the need is great for vigorous propagation of unionism among the unorganized—as well as for organizing the organized. In the area of collective …
Is There a Crisis in the American Trade-Union Movement?—The Trade Unionists' Views
A survey of thirty-eight union presidents and forty-seven union staff personnel indicates that many of them are concerned with the crisis facing American labor. They see as their main problems those of technical change or automation, unemployment, unfriendly legislation, weaknesses of union structure and tactics, increased management power, and an unsympathetic public opinion. Factors internal and external to the labor movement have brought these…

Research in Industrial Human Relations: A Critical Appraisal
A Pattern for the Study of Human Relations in Industry
Work in industrial human relations to date has been too narrowly oriented to needs and problems defined by management, in the view of the author of this discussion, who challenges researchers to broaden their horizons to include study of the attitudes of individual workers toward their jobs, of unions as social institutions, of the process of collective bargaining, and of the interrelationships among institutions and individuals in the economic p…

Labor's Attitude toward Wage Incentive Plans
This appraisal will deal primarily with wage incentive plans, defined to include all programs which relate workers' earnings immediately, directly, and continuously to their output. Not included in this discussion are wage bonus plans which link earnings with plant profits, volume of business, attendance, or any other factors, or other types of financial or nonfinancial plans. These frequently may be more effective than wage incentive plans in se…
Applied Social Science in the American Trade-Union Movement
The social scientist is now applying his knowledge and skills in various fields. But in the American trade-union movement he faces unusual problems. His challenges are essentially those of determining how to serve, and how to implant a belief in the value of his findings and reports. There is no widespread acceptance of the conclusion that he can make a real contribution. He is still not considered necessary or likely to be useful in the routine …

Management's Attitude toward Wage Incentive Systems
The principal objective of the American economy at the present time is to increase its productive capacity. Securing cooperation and maximum effort from the individual worker is vital to this task.

Concepts in the Measurement of Human Application
Wage incentive systems receive widespread support in the belief that objectively determined standards of work performance will narrow the scope of issues involved in wage bargaining and thus enable agreements to be more easily reached. It is the thesis of this article, however, that current techniques for measuring human application are at best only makeshifts, lacking a scientific base, and provide no objective basis for reconciling employer and…
Diversity of Time-Study Practice
Unable to construct a definitive conceptual apparatus for the measurement of human application, time-study practitioners have attempted to devise direct practical techniques for the determination of time standards. How successful have their efforts been? In this article, the considerable variety of approaches to time standards used in modern industry are described and evaluated.

The Bench-Mark Approach to Production Standards
Quantitative standards of work performance set and administered by time and motion study have long been under attack for the failure to remove the influence of subjective appraisal of levels of human effort, as well as for other reasons. The author of this article is not only one of the most consistent and articulate of time study's critics, but also an advocate of the need to develop alternative methods of setting standards. In this article, he …
