2. Slide #2
The industrial Revolution took place during the late 1700’s through the mid 1800’s. During this time
many changes took place. The largest changes were taking production from the hand to more
mechanical production. Before this transitional period the manufacturing of goods was done mainly by
hand. The inventions that were completed during this time helped change how goods were being
produced and the rates of efficiency.
Slide #3
Adam Smith lived from17**-17**. His life spanned the time period of the beginning of the Industrial
revolution. He contributed his thoughts on human passions in his writings while studying and conveying
his ideas on economics. He published several works that revealed his ideas on human behaviors and
how these behaviors are linked to the workplace. His ideas are now considered theories and we see
them in the modern workplace as well as his views on economic structure and success.
Slide #4
Adam Smith first contributed his ideas in his published work, The Theory of Moral Sentiment(1759). He
wrote about human behavior and emotions. In his findings he relates that humans naturally feel for
others both in a happy or sad state. The focus that Smith brings to this natural human behavior can be
seen in how we relate to each other in the modern workplace. As leaders and or managers we want to
feel for our employees’ situations and personal struggles. But as Smith has portrayed there has to be a
line drawn as to what level of emotion is acceptable. He defines that this emotional identification in
humans is natural but also clearly identifies that as the person not experiencing the actual feeling we are
not as likely to feel as strong. Smith referred to morality and the use of rewards as human behavior
naturally dictates needs for emotional satisfaction.
