I. Economic Man
In terms of management methods, it can be summarized as follows:
1, the focus of management work is to improve productivity and complete production tasks. And the emotional and moral responsibility to people; 1 1 is a problem that managers should consider. So management is planning, organizing, operating, guiding and supervising.
2. Management is the business of a few people, and the main task of workers is to obey the command of managers;
3. Strictly set quotas, implement piecework wages, and use money to buy employees' effectiveness and obedience; At the same time, severe punishment measures are taken against lazy people.
Second, social people.
Take management measures different from the "economic man" hypothesis, mainly as follows:
1, managers should not only focus on the completion of production tasks, but should focus on caring for people and meeting their needs;
2. Managers should not only pay attention to command, supervision, planning, control and organization, but also pay attention to the relationship between employees in order to cultivate and form their sense of belonging and integrity;
3. In actual reward, we advocate collective reward system, not individual reward system;
4. The functions of managers should also be changed. They should not be limited to making plans, organizing processes and testing products, but should play the role of liaison between employees and superiors. On the one hand, we should listen to the opinions of workers and understand their thoughts and feelings, on the other hand, we should appeal and reflect to our superiors;
5. Put forward a new management mode of "participation management", that is, let employees and subordinates participate in the research and discussion of enterprise decision-making to varying degrees.

Negative evaluation of economic man
1. The hypothesis of "economic man" is based on hedonism philosophy, which regards man as a "natural person" who is irrational, naturally lazy and does not like labor. This is a reflection of the dominant ideology of individualism in the early 20th century. Taylor recorded the root of improving efficiency from the profit-seeking heart of entrepreneurs and workers, and regarded people as machines. This is contrary to the Marxist view that man is a social man and man's essence is the sum of social relations.
2. The management undertaken by "economic man" is a mechanical management mode based on money, which denies people's ownership, consciousness, initiative, creativity and responsibility. They believe that because people are naturally lazy, they must use measures such as coercion, control, rewards and punishments to urge them to achieve organizational goals.
3. The "economic" hypothesis holds that most people lack ambition and only a few people play a leading role. Therefore, it is completely wrong to put managers and managed people in absolute opposition, oppose workers' participation in management and deny workers' position and role in production.
4. The hypothesis of economic man is not necessarily related to whether people have egoism or altruism, but an adaptive behavior choice caused by scarce resources.
