Negative effects of division of labor

Adverse effects of labor environment and labor costs

Impact on the working environment: A high degree of division of labor makes the work monotonous, easy to fatigue, and easy to lead to a decline in work efficiency. Employees will also be disgusted and hostile to the working environment and enterprises, and their willingness to cooperate will decline. Compared with rich and interesting work, monotonous work means worse working environment, and the price paid by employees for the same work also increases accordingly.

Impact on labor costs: enterprises with poor working conditions need to pay higher wages to effectively absorb workers' employment; (2) It is difficult to keep employees stable and human capital accumulation suffers losses.

Adverse effects on the resilience of workers and enterprises.

A high degree of division of labor reduces workers' understanding of the relationship between the whole production process, and their ability to adapt and coordinate automatically declines. This has two disadvantages. One is the loss of working hours, and the other is the increase of management personnel. A high degree of division of labor affects individual adaptability, which will also lead to a decline in the overall adaptability of enterprises.

Adverse effects on labor relations

A high degree of division of labor is likely to cause an unfavorable distribution relationship for middle and lower employees in enterprises. Whether an enterprise with the goal of maximizing profits is desirable depends on the external environment-market conditions.
