Correct answer
Explanation
F.W. Taylor is known as the 'odd thinker' or 'odd man out' among management theorists because his scientific management approach focused heavily on mechanical efficiency and task optimization, unlike the human relations perspective. Maslow focused on hierarchy of needs, Herzberg on motivation-hygiene factors, and Likert on participative management systems.
