Few people nowadays deny that there Is a residue of subjective judgments involved in time-study. For a discussion of some of the difficulties mentioned here compare : Ryan, T. A., “Fatigue and Effort in Relation to Standards of Performance and Systems of Payment”, Internat. Lab. Rev., 65 (1952). Whyte, W. Foote, “Money and Motivation” (Harper Bros., 1955). Foote Whyte describes time-study as a “guessing game”. Behrend, H., op. cit.
