Key Terms Scientific Management perspective - theoretical approach to organizations that emphasizes organizational design, worker training for efficiency, chains of command, and division of labor. The perspective rests on the assumption that work and organizations can be rationally or “scientifically” designed and developed. Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.

7
Frederick Taylor Principles of Scientific Management (1913)
The inefficiency in most organizations is caused by a lack of systematic management and “The best management is a true science, resting upon clearly defined laws, rules, and principles, as a foundation.” Four essential foundational elements of scientific management Careful selection of workers Inducing and training workers by the scientific method Equal division of work between management and workers Discovering the scientific method for tasks and jobs Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
8
Frederick Taylor Allowing workers to determine how tasks should be performed fostered inefficiency. Management is responsible for identifying “one best way” to perform tasks and that management should be exacting in teaching workers this scientific method for task performance. Close contact between management and workers would eliminate the necessity for peer communication and what he called “soldiering,” the unhealthy influence of the peer group.

9
Key Terms Time and motion - a technique for determining the efficiency of production through work observation and time measurements; used to develop work standards that can be measured for efficiency. Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
10
Time and Motion If tasks were scientifically designed and workers extensively trained, the efficiency of production could be determined by timing the amount of work (motion) performed by individuals and teams Scientific management could be accomplished only with a well-defined chain of command created by management and very specific division of labor based on well-defined work standards and measurement of standards to increase efficiency. Method and suggestions of organizing an organization are still used today Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
11
Henri Fayol General and Industrial Management (1916,1949)
First known attempt to describe broad principles of management for the organization and conduct of business Proposed 14 principles of administration or management that are essential for the effective organization Place responsibility for exercise of authority with management Emphasized a difference between authority as a result of job title vs. “personal” authority or authority based on intelligence, experience, moral worth, ability to lead and past service Importance of credibility and leadership Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
12
Henri Fayol Principle of Unity of Command
Orders should come from only one superior A bypass of the chain of command would be a source of problems Messages should move from supervisors to subordinates following the formal organizational chart Scalar chain is the movement of messages both vertically and horizontally throughout the organization The chain of superiors ranging from the ultimate authority to the lowest ranks. The line of authority is the route followed—via every link in the chain—by all communications which start from or go to the ultimate authority. Carries messages in vertical directions. As such, the chain would have an equal capacity to carry messages vertically, both downward and upward. The chain may take too much time for messages to travel effectively through all links in which case, a gang plank method of communication is fitting Gang plank is where peers communicate directly without regard to scalar chain Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.

14
Henri Fayol Equity - a combination of kindliness and justice toward all. He viewed equity as necessary to encourage workers to carry out duties with devotion and loyalty. Initiative - the ability to think through and execute plans esprit de corps - the strongest organization exhibited union of purpose through implementing the Unity of Command Do not divide and rule Do not abuse written communication Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.

15
Henri Fayol 5 Basic Activities of Management Planning Organizing
Development of operational strategies for the organization and the forecasting of future needs Organizing The use of people and materials to implement the organizational plan or goals Commanding The management function of obtaining maximum or optimum return for the organization from human and material resources Coordinating The function of integrating the efforts of all organizational members Controlling Required management to establish how closely to its plan the organization was operating Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.

16
Key Terms Bureaucracy - organizations based on formalized rules, regulations, and procedures, which make authority rational as opposed to charismatic or traditional. Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
17
Max Weber (1947) 3 types of authority Charismatic Traditional
Bureaucratic Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
18
Charismatic Based on the specific characteristics of the person exerting authority. Inspires others to follow. Nonstructural (does not go with specific jobs) Nontransferable from person to person. When the charismatic leader leaves the organization, the authority or ability to influence leaves with him or her. Charismatic authority contributes to unstable organizations and disorderly transition of power from one person to another. Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
19
Traditional Associated with the customs of a group or society
More stable than charismatic authority Passes from individual to individual based on custom or tradition rather than ability or task competence Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
20
Bureaucratic Rests on formalized rules, regulations, and procedures that made authority “rational-legal,” not based on personal charisma or tradition. Bureaucratic leaders selected according to rules and regulations designed to promote the most competent for the particular job. Designed to counteract nepotism, favoritism, and unbalanced decision making. Formal chain of command and hierarchical structure. Impersonality in interpersonal relations Employment selection and promotion were to be based on competence. Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
21
Bureaucratic Hierarchy of authority with a scalar chain of command
Chain of command would be organized according to task specialization and should represent division of labor appropriate to the required tasks Chain of command should operate with standardized rules and procedures designed to emphasize “rational” decision making and task competence The rules and procedures of the bureaucracy should emphasize the employment of qualified personnel To secure qualified personnel, detailed definitions of job expectations and responsibilities developed in accordance with the rules and procedures of the organization Communication should be formal and follow the chain of command Primary emphasis on the goals of the organization and put individual interests secondary to organizational productivity Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.

23
Human Behavior Perspective
Human Behavior perspective - theories of organizations that emphasize the interactions of individuals, their motivations, and their influence on organizational events. Organizational design and function are reflections of basic assumptions about human behavior Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
24
Mary Parker Follett Principles of Coordination
Productive organizations must be concerned with the desires and motivations of individuals and groups. Known for her concern for the steady, ordered progress of human well-being. Characterized conflict as potentially constructive and described collective responsibility and integration as supportive of business excellence. Famous for her psychological foundations of the smoothly operating organization Focus on psychological and motivational processes of workers, made significant contributions to the emergence of behavior theories for understanding organizational life Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.

26
Key Concepts Theory X/Theory Y – Douglas McGregor’s (The Human Side of Enterprise, 1960) description of management assumptions about workers. Theory X characterizes assumptions underlying Scientific Management theory, and Theory Y is associated with assumptions common to Human Behavior perspectives. Theory X managers assume workers dislike work and will avoid responsible labor. Theory Y managers believe that workers can be self-directed and self-controlled.

Key Concepts Participative management - Likert’s theory of employee-centered management based on effectively functioning groups linked together structurally throughout the organization. Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
29
Rensis Likert Participative Management New Patterns of Management
Employee-centered management based on effectively functioning groups linked together structurally throughout the entire organization Management process should depend on participative groups formed to have overlapping individual membership among groups A structure of interlocking groups, with members having multiple group memberships. These multiple group memberships provided links among groups, or what is now known as the famous “linking pin” function. Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
30
Rensis Likert Participative Management New Patterns of Management
Proper understanding of the differences or variability in human performance could help build productive organizations An increase in participation by organizational members at all levels A general atmosphere of distrust discourages free-flowing communication A consultative systems where management actively seeks worker input but retains control of important decisions is preferable Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
31
Rensis Likert Participative Management New Patterns of Management
Participative management, trust between management and employees and by decisions being made throughout the organization. Accurate communication flows in all directions People are motivated because of their participation in organizational events and in shaping their own futures. Goal setting, as well as appraisal of how well goals are being met and the overall effectiveness of the organization at all organizational levels.

32
Rensis Likert Participative Management New Patterns of Management
Benefits of linked groups, predicted “fuller and more candid communication throughout the organization—upward, downward, and between peers.” Participative management rested on his contention that the supportive atmosphere of the effective group promoted creativity, motivated people to use the communication process as both senders and receivers, and exerted more influence on leadership than in other types of systems.

Key Concepts Decision-making approach - Simon’s concept that organizational behavior is a complex network of decisions, with decision-making processes influencing the behavior of the entire organization. Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
37
Key Concepts Bounded rationality - assumption that people intend to be rational, but with limited information-processing capacity human decision making is based on selective perception and therefore exhibits “limited” rationality. Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved

39
Key Concepts Contingency theory - approach that rejects the “one best way” to organize in favor of the view that no specific set of prescriptions is appropriate for all organizations. As such, organizations must adapt to changing circumstances and the needs of individuals and the environment in which the organization operates.

40
Paul Lawrence and Jay Lorsch (1969)
Contingency theory - establishment of internal organizational operations contingent or dependent on external environmental needs and individual needs. Three primary interfaces that determine how organizations operate and respond to their environment Organization-to-environment Group-to-group Individual-to-organization levels Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
41
Key Concepts Systems theory - describes organizations as made up of subsystems, which take in materials and human resources, process materials and resources, and yield a finished product to the larger environment. Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
42
Systems Theory The organization takes in materials and human resources (inputs), processes materials and resources (throughputs), and yields finished products (outputs) to the larger environment Should have a self-corrective mechanism whereby feedback or inputs from the environment can be processed into adaptation of throughputs and, potentially, outputs. The system’s self-corrective mechanism is called the system’s cybernetic which is the management team The law of equifinality attests to the multiple-action courses possible for the achievement of a goal. Equifinality rejects the concept of a single course of action to reach a single goal Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved
43
Daniel Katz and Robert Kahn
Optimization, or looking for maximum output in return for minimum input Open System – exchanges information with its larger environment Closed System – limits exchange with the environment and seeks to operate as a self-contained unit Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.

44
Key Concepts Autopoiesis - process describing each element in a system simultaneously combining the maintenance of itself with the maintenance of the other elements of the system. Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved

Senge’s Five Disciplines
1. System thinking: the ability to think about connections and patterns and to view systems as wholes, not individual parts of the patterns. 2. Personal mastery: developing special levels of proficiency. Personal mastery is the discipline of continually clarifying and deepening our personal vision, of focusing our energies, of developing patience, and of seeing reality objectively. As such, it is an essential cornerstone of the learning organization, the learning organization’s spiritual foundation. An organization’s commitment to and capacity for learning can be no greater than that of its members. 3. Mental models: deeply ingrained assumptions, generalizations, or even pictures or images that influence how we understand the world and how we take action. 4. Building shared vision: the capacity to hold a shared picture of the future we seek to create. When there is a genuine vision, people excel and learn, not because they are told to but because they want to. 5. Team learning: learning that starts with dialogue, the capacity of members of a team to suspend assumptions and enter into genuine “thinking together.” The discipline of dialogue also involves learning how to recognize the patterns of interaction in teams that undermine learning Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.

47
Key Concepts Cultural approaches - theories that describe how organizational members collectively interpret the organizational world around them in order to define the importance of organizational happenings. Approaches to theory that explain organizational behavior in terms of the influence of cultures that exist both internally and externally to the organization.

Edgar Schein (1985) Organization Culture - “A pattern of basic assumptions—invented, discovered, or developed by a given group as it learns to cope with its problems of external adaptation and internal integration—that has worked well enough to be considered valid and, therefore, to be taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think, and feel in relation to those problems.” Artifacts and creations Physical and social environment created by organizational members Values Both individual and group preferences for the way things should be in the organization Basic Assumptions The core of what individuals believe to be true about the world and how it works Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.

49
Edgar Schein (1983) How Organizational Culture Begins
1. The founder (or founders) has an idea for a new enterprise; 2. A founding group is created with members who have initial consensus about the idea 3. A founding group acts to bring structure and resources to the idea; 4. The initial functioning of the group is based on the idea; that is, the group begins to develop a history.

50
The Strong Cultural Perspective
“Strong or unified” cultures developed by leadership (management) in order to guide an organization to excellence Effective leaders identify values important to success and build cultures around those values Domino effect of leadership creating values, reinforcing those values and sharing them with enthusiasm.

Karl Weick (1995) Sensemaking Model distinguishing characteristics
Grounded in identity construction The recipe is a question about who I am as indicated by discovery of how and what I think Retrospective To learn what I think, I look back over what I said earlier Enactive of sensible environments I create the object to be seen and inspected when I say or do something Social What I say and single out and conclude are determined by who socialized me and how I was socialized, as well as by the audience I anticipate will audit the conclusions I reach Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.

59
Karl Weick (1995) Sensemaking Model distinguishing characteristics
Ongoing My talking is spread across time, competes for attention with other ongoing projects, and is reflected on after it is finished, which means my interests may have already changed Focused on and by extracted cues The “what” that I single out and embellish as the content of the thought is only a small portion of the utterance that becomes salient because of context and personal dispositions Driven by plausibility rather than accuracy I need to know enough about what I think to get on with my projects, but no more, which means sufficiency and plausibility take precedence over accuracy Copyright © 2015, 2012, 2009, 2006 Pearson Education, Inc.
