Study Notes
Management Systems
- Domain II covers management aspects, including selected theories, OSHA incidence rates, and Pearson product moment correlation coefficient.
- Theory X and Y: Douglas McGregor's theories describe differing views of workers. Theory X assumes workers dislike work and need external motivation, while Theory Y assumes workers are internally motivated and seek responsibility.
- Scientific Management Theory: Frederick Taylor's theory focuses on maximizing task efficiency through breaking tasks into subtasks.
- Administrative Theory: Henri Fayol's theory emphasizes optimal interactions between personnel and management for productivity.
- Bureaucratic Management Theory: Max Weber's theory emphasizes efficiency and organizational structure but also considers emotional aspects.
- Human Relations Theory: This theory suggests employees desire teamwork and support, which influences productivity.
- OSHA Incidence Rate: This rate indicates past workplace performance, calculated as (Number of OSHA Recordable Cases × 200,000) / (Number of Employee Labor Hours Worked).
- Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient: This coefficient measures the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. Values range between -1 and 1; values close to ±1 indicate strong linear relationships.
OSHA Incidence Rates
- OSHA incidence rates are lagging indicators of past performance.
- They measure injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers.
Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient
- The coefficient quantifies the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables.
- Values close to +1 indicate strong positive relationships, close to –1 indicates strong negative relationships and close to 0 indicates weak or no relationship.
Engineering Economy
- Future Value: The future value (F) of an initial investment (P) after n years at an interest rate of i is calculated using the formula: F = P × (1 + i)n
- Present Value: The present worth (P) of a future value (F) after n years at an interest rate of i is calculated using the formula: P = F × (1 + i)-n
- Uniform Series Present and Future Worth Factor: These values are calculated based on the interest rate and number of years and are used for calculations involving uniform payments made at regular intervals or future values of uniform series of payments.
