    The document summarizes the evolution of organizational behavior theories from scientific management to contingency approaches. It discusses early theorists like Taylor who advocated standardization and incentives, and Mayo whose Hawthorne studies found that social and working conditions impact productivity. Later theorists developed more progressive views of human motivation. The contingency approach recognizes there is no single best way to manage and the appropriate structure depends on contextual factors. Emerging issues in organizational behavior include managing diversity, knowledge workers, and corporate social responsibility in a global context.

    Elton Mayo

    Mayo’s Hawthorne studies documented how


    stimuli unrelated to financial compensation help
    increase productivity

    Mayo found that working conditions impacted:

    •Attention of workers

    •Their engagement with the job


    The Hawthorne studies opened the door to more
    progressive thinking about human nature leading to more
    theories:

    • Abraham Maslow
    • Mc Gregor
    • Kurt Lewin
    • Max Weber
    • Frederick Herzberg
    • David McClelland
    Contingency approach

    Classical theorists advocated “one best way” of


    organizing and managing

    However, as businesses and their environments change rapidly,


    there is no one best way of management

    Contingency theory proposes that the appropriate organizational structure


    and management styles are dependent upon a set of “contingency” factors
