Definition of HISTORICAL ORGANIZATIONAL DISCIPLINARY AN INTEGRATING Organizational ROOTS PERSPECTIVE ACTIVITIES BEHAVIOR Behavior Scientific Management Dating back to the early 20th century, organizational behavior theory developed out of classical management theories, such as those of Frederick W. Taylor. Taylor has been called the father of scientific management. 4 BASIC WAYS OF KNOWING • Tenacity • Intuition • Authority • Science • They are using tenacity, When managers form a belief (e.g., a happy worker is a productive worker) and continue to hold that belief out of habit and often in spite of contradictory information, • They use intuition when they feel the answer is self-evident or when they have a hunch about how to solve a problem. • They use authority when they seek an answer to a problem from an expert or consultant who supposedly has experience in the area. • Finally, they use science—perhaps too seldom —when they are convinced that the three previous methods allow for too much subjectivity in interpretation. HAWTHORNE STUDIES • The Western Electric (Hawthorne Works) Studies (1923-1933) Cicero,ILL. The most famous of these studies was the Hawthorne Studies which showed how work groups provide mutual support and effective resistance to management schemes to increase output. This study found that workers didn’t respond to classical motivational approaches as suggested in the Scientific Management and Taylor approaches, but rather workers were also interested in the rewards and punishments of their own work group. HAWTHORNE STUDIES • The Hawthorne Studies helped us to see that an organization is more than a formal arrangement of functions but is also a social system. In the following chart, we can see a comparison of traditional assumptions vs. newer human relations. Douglas McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y
Douglas McGregor was one of the great popularizers
of Human Relations approach with his Theory X and Theory Y. In his research he found that although many managers spouted the right ideas, their actual managers indicated a series of assumptions that McGregor called Theory X. However, research seemed to clearly suggest that these assumptions were not valid but rather a different series of notions about human behavior seemed more valid. He called these Theory Y and urged managers to managed based on these more valid Theory Y notions. THEORY X THEORY Y TOPICS:

In relation to this, the goals for which organizations were established to achieve guide the formulation of objectives, the objectives guide in the formulation of derivative plans which will stipulate the activities, resources and outputs that are required for day to day operations of an organization. • In ensuring that goals and objectives and policies are synchronized and are in tandem with one another, management will ensure that all departments as well as all the employees of the organization are fully aware of them and will provide supervision and the necessary support to foster collective efforts towards the successful attainment of the organizational goals, objectives, policies and work plans.
