The correct answer is: B. efficient
Taylor’s differential piece rate system is a type of incentive pay system that pays workers a higher rate for each unit of output they produce above a certain level. This system is designed to encourage workers to be more productive.
Inefficient workers are less likely to produce above the minimum level of output required to receive the higher rate, so they will not benefit from the system. Efficient workers are more likely to produce above the minimum level of output, so they will benefit from the system.
Therefore, the Taylor’s differential piece rate system provides for higher rates to efficient workers.
Option A is incorrect because inefficient workers are less likely to produce above the minimum level of output required to receive the higher rate.
Option C is incorrect because the system is designed to encourage workers to be more productive, not less productive.
Option D is incorrect because the system is designed to encourage workers to be efficient, not lazy.
