And then, too, the wages were not scientifically adjusted to the jobs. The man in job "A" might get one rate and the man in job "B" a higher rate, while as a matter of fact job "A" might require more skill or exertion than job "B." A great deal of inequity creeps into wage rates unless both the employer and the employee know that the rate paid has been arrived at by something better than a guess. Therefore, starting about 1913 we had time studies made of all the thousands of operations in the shops. By a time study it is possible theoretically to determine what a man's output should be. Then, making large allowances, it is further possible to get at a satisfactory standard output for a day, and, taking into consideration the skill, to arrive at a rate which will express with fair accuracy the amount of skill and exertion that goes into a job--and how much is to be expected from the man in the job in return for the wage. Without scientific study the employer does not know why he is paying a wage and the worker does not know why he is getting it. On the time figures all of the jobs in our factory were standardized and rates set.

白话
福特发现，凭感觉定工资会造成大量不公平：A岗位可能比B岗位更费脑力体力，工资却更低。因为雇主和员工都不知道工资是怎么算出来的，只能靠猜。于是从1913年起，福特对工厂里数千道工序做时间研究，测算每个岗位理论上该产出多少，再留出宽裕的余量，定出合理的日产量标准，并结合技能要求定出工资率。这样，工资既反映岗位需要的技能和付出，也明确工人该回报多少产出。没有科学依据，雇主说不清为什么付这个钱，工人也说不清为什么拿这个钱。

福特介绍1913年起在福特工厂推行的时间研究与岗位标准化，这是早期科学管理在薪酬上的应用。
今日一问
你团队里每个岗位的工资，是有依据的测算，还是拍脑袋定的？
