Lillian Moller Gilbreth idézet

Lillian Moller Gilbreth , amerikai mérnök, az egyik első olyan nő, aki mérnöki végzettsége mellett PhD fokozatot is szerzett. Az egyik első munkapszichológusnak is tartják. Férjével, Frank Bunker Gilbreth-el együtt Gilbreth, Inc. néven tanácsadócéget alapított. Több elnöknek is dolgozott tanácsadóként olyan témákban, mint a háborús termelés, vagy a fizikailag fogyatékosok rehabilitálása. 1926-ban első női tagja lett az Amerikai Mérnökök Társaságának.

A Berkeley Egyetemen végzett. Első PhD disszertációja megírása után, melynek a címe a Menedzsment Pszichológiája volt, a diplomát nem vehette át, így később, 1915-ben újabb disszertációt írt, ekkor már a Brown Egyetemen. 22 egyetem díszdoktora is volt.

Kutatásai során Gilbreth kombinálta a mérnöki és a pszichológiai tudományokat, és arra tanította a mérnököket, hogy lássák a munka pszichológiai vonatkozásait is. A Taylor nevéhez fűződő módszereket nem tartotta könnyen alkalmazhatóaknak, sem hatékonynak.

Férjével 12 gyereket neveltek, aminek a feladatait nem volt könnyű összeegyeztetnie tudományos munkájával. Családi életükről később fia, ifj. Frank Bunker Gilbreth és lánya Ernestine Gilbreth Carey könyvet írt Cheaper by the Dozen címen, melyből 1950-ben filmet is forgattak. Wikipedia

“… what is there in the subject of psychology to demand the attention of the manager?
Psychology, in the popular phrase, is " the study of the mind." It has for years been included in the training of all teachers, and has been one of the first steps for the student of philosophy; but it has not, usually, been included among the studies of the young scientific or engineering student, or of any students in other lines than Philosophy and Education. This, not because its value as a " culture subject " was not understood, but because the course of the average student is so crowded with technical preparation necessary to his life work, and because the practical value of psychology has not been recognized. It is well recognized that the teacher must understand the working of the mind in order best to impart his information in that way that will enable the student to grasp it most readily. It was not recognized that every man going out into the world needs all the knowledge that he can get as to the working of the human mind in order not only to give but to receive information with the least waste and expenditure of energy, nor was it recognized that in the industrial, as well as the academic world, almost every man is a teacher.”

“Of what value is the study of management?
The study of management has been omitted from the student's training until comparatively recently, for a very different reason than was psychology. It was never doubted that a knowledge of management would be of great value to anyone and everyone, and many were the queer schemes for obtaining that knowledge after graduation. It was doubted that management could be studied otherwise than by observation and practice. Few teachers, if any, believed in the existence, or possibility, of a teaching science of management. Management was assumed by many to be an art, by even more it was thought to be a divinely bestowed gift or talent, rather than an acquired accomplishment. It was common belief that one could learn to manage only by going out on the work and watching other managers, or by trying to manage, and not by studying about management in a class room or in a text book; that watching a good manager might help one, but no one could hope really to succeed who had not " the knack born in him."”

“The things which concerned him more than anything else were the what and the why--the what because he felt it was necessary to know absolutely what you were questioning and what you were doing or what concerned you, and then the why, the depth type of thinking which showed you the reason for doing the thing and would perhaps indicate clearly whether you should maintain what was being done or should change what was being done.”

“Psychology of Management, as here used, means, the effect of the mind that is directing work upon that work which is directed, and the effect of this undirected and directed work upon the mind of the worker.”
