1. Classical Theory (contd.) :A. Scientific Management Theory (contd.) :
F.W.Taylor’s Scientific Management Theory (contd.) :
• Observed (in these companies) that production & pay were poor, inefficiency existed, wastage was high, workers put into job without matching their abilities and the workers used different techniques to perform the same work.
• realized that work efficiency was low due to lack of order and system
• This led him to come out with “The principle of scientific management” in 1911 A.D. in which the explained the principles of scientific management.
• emphasized one best method of doing work to increase efficiency & productivity.

The Hawthorne Studies (1927–1932)
• Conducted by Elton Mayo and associates at Western Electric– Illumination study—workplace lighting adjustments affected
both the control and the experimental groups of production employees.
– Group study—implementation of piecework incentive plan caused production workers to establish informal levels of acceptable individual output.
• Over-producing workers were labeled “rate busters” and under-producing workers were considered “chiselers.”
– Interview program—confirmed the importance of human behavior in the workplace.
– Bank Wiring Observation Room Program 14 workers were formed into a work group and observed for seven months

2. Behavioral Science Theory (contd.)A. Human Relations Approach (contd.)The Hawthorne Studies’ conclusion:• Productivity was much affected by the attitudes of the worker
(Relationship between members of a work group and between members and their supervisors) rather than working condition and incentive plan (like hours of work, wage incentives, etc.)
• the informal work group formed at the work places, determined the worker behavior by setting the group norms, standard worker output, hierarchy of member, creating group security and group sentiments, thereby exercising strong control over the behavior of the workers
• emphasized more on humanistic and realistic view of social man from economic man
• Group or social factors played a dominant and significant role in the functioning of the organization in achieving their goals, since it provided the members the feeling of acceptance and dignity and satisfied employees

Behavioral Management Perspective (cont’d)
• Human Relations Movement– Grew out of the Hawthorne studies.– Proposed that workers respond primarily
to the social context of work, including social conditioning, group norms, and interpersonal dynamics.
– Assumed that the manager’s concern for workers would lead to increased worker satisfaction and improved worker performance.

Need Hierarchy Theory
• Unlimited needs – when one need is fulfilled, another arises
• Unfulfilled needs creates anxiety which leads to motivation
• Needs arise in order– Classification of needs:

Theory X and Theory Y
• Developed by Douglas McGregor• Theory X Assumptions
– People do not like work and try to avoid it.– People do not like work, so managers have to
control, direct, coerce, and threaten employees to get them to work toward organizational goals.
– People prefer to be directed, to avoid responsibility, and to want security; they have little ambition.

Theory X and Theory Y (cont’d)• Theory Y Assumptions
– People do not dislike work; work is a natural part of their lives.
– People are internally motivated to reach objectives to which they are committed.
– People are committed to goals to the degree that they receive rewards when they reach their objectives.

Behavioral Management Perspective…Today (cont’d)
• Limitations– Complexity of individuals makes behavior difficult
to predict.– Many concepts not put to use because managers
are reluctant to adopt them.– Contemporary research findings are not often
communicated to practicing managers in an understandable form.

Quantitative Management Perspective
04/07/23 Quantative and Integrating Perspective 50
• Contributions– Developed sophisticated quantitative techniques to
assist in decision making.– Application of models has
increased our awareness and understanding of complex processes and situations.
– Has been useful in the planning and controlling processes.

Quantitative Management Perspective
04/07/23 Quantative and Integrating Perspective 51
• Limitations– Quantitative management cannot fully explain or
predict the behavior of people in organizations.– Mathematical sophistication may come at
the expense of other managerial skills.– Quantitative models may require
unrealistic or unfounded assumptions, limiting their general applicability.

Contributions and Limitations
04/07/23 Quantative and Integrating Perspective 55
• Contributions of system theory:– Provides conceptual framework for meaningful
analysis and management of an organization– Emphasis on interrelations- interdependence– Helps in problem solving– It integrates various management theories by
emphasizing on physical aspect, behavioral aspect, and environmental aspect

Limitations of Systems Theory
04/07/23 Quantative and Integrating Perspective 56
• Too abstract and difficult to apply• Does not offer tools and
techniques• It does not offer unified body of
knowledge.

Contingency Perspective (Theory)
04/07/23 Quantative and Integrating Perspective 57
• The theory focuses on situational factors.• Main logic behind the theory:
– There is no one best method in all different situations
• The best method to solve a problem varies according to situation.
• Every organization is unique.• There are four contingency variables that
determine management Practice:
