Therefore, it means that why authority is synonymous with government bodies and organizations, the private sector hugely uses management, but the bureaucracy elements exist in both. And this is why Taylor (1914) talks about the concept of scientific management by comparing the artisan and the unskilled laborer in a private entity. While the artisan uses his skills to make decisions and gain some autonomy, the unskilled worker’s work is specialized…
