In the late 19th and early 20th century, attitudes towards workers and how they could be motivated focused on what psychologist Abraham Maslow would later call lower level needs in his hierarchy of needs theory. Frederick Winslow Taylor, known as the father of scientific management, argued that workers are essentially cogs in the industrial machine who must be closely supervised and controlled. His views were based on negative assumptions about what it takes to motivate workers, and had an impact on motivational thinking that lasted for decades.
