ORGANIZATION THEORIES AND APPLICATION

 ORGANIZATIONAL THEORIES
 CLASSICAL ORGANIZATION THEORY
 Scientific Management Approach
 Weber’s Bureaucratic Approach
 Administrative Theory
 NEOCLASSICAL THEORY MODERN ORGANIZATION THEORY
 Systems Approach
 Socio- technical Approach
 Contingency or Situational Approach

Scientific Management Approach

- Is based on the concept of planning of work to achieve efficiency, standardization, specialization
and simplification. The approach to increased productivity is through mutual trust between
management and workers.
Weber’s Bureaucratic Approach
- Considers the organization as a part of broader society. The organization is based on the principles
of
 Structure
 Specialization
 Predictability and Stability
 Rationality
 Democracy
Administrative Theory
- Was propounded by Henry Fayol and is based on several principles of management. In addition,
management was considered as a set of planning, organizing, training, commanding and
coordinating functions.
Fayol’s Principles of Management: Administrative Theory
- Division of work (specialization) - Stability of Tenure of personnel
- Authority and Responsibility - Initiative
- Discipline - Esprit de Corps
- Unity of Command - The concept of line and staff
- Unity of Direction - Committees
- Subordination of Individual Interest - Functions of Management
- Remuneration of personnel - Planning
- Centralization - Organizing
- Scalar chain - Training
- Order - Commanding
- Equity - Coordinating

Neoclassical Theory
- Emphasizes individual or group behavior and human relations in determining productivity. The main
features of the neoclassical approach are individual, work group, and participatory management.
The System Approach
- Considers the organization as s system composed of a set of inter- related and thus mutually
dependent sub- systems. Thus, the organization consists of components, linking processes and
goals.
 - Linking processes
- Communication
- Balance
- Decision Analysis
- Goals of organization
- Growth
- Stability
- Interaction
The Socio- technical Approach
- Considers the organization as composed of a social system, technical system, and its environment.
These interact among themselves and it is necessary to balance them appropriately for effective
functioning of the organization.
The Contingency or Situational Approach
- Recognizes that organizational systems are inter- related with their environment and that different
environments require different organizational relationships for effective working of the organization.
The Importance of Goal Settings
 Clarified what people have to do
 Identifies problems and facilitates solution
 Reduces ambiguity in work
 Establishes a relationship between work and organizational achievements
 Provides a sense of accomplishment and contentment
 Measures performance
