Managers are principally responsible to their employing organisation – they must try to get the most out of its limited resources – they must try to minimise the costly resources they use, including labour i.e. they must minimise employment

On the other hand, government ministers are responsible for all a nation’s resources, especially its people – they must try to maximise employment – it’s a vote-winner too

This conflict of priorities was splendidly illustrated by Adam Smith with his example of productivity at a pin factory and the macro retort from Bertrand Russell ‘in praise of idleness’
