Mary Parker Follett (1868-1933)

Theories were focused on Human Relations Approach.

Groups work more effectively when power is shared.

Employees must be empowered to increase productivity.

Interrelatedness- ‘coactive’ instead of coercive.

Emphasis on ‘power-with’ rather than ‘power-over’ people approach.

Leader guides and in turn guided by the group.

Leader influences by motivating others.

Key points in Follett’s theory:

“The best leader knows how to make his followers actually feel power themselves, not merely acknowledge his power”.

the group was indifferent to the employer's financial incentive scheme;

the group developed a code of behavior of its own based on solidarity in opposition to the management, and

output was determined by informal social groups rather than by management.

Stage 3Same experiment was done on Bank Wiring Room with a similar application of incentives to productivity:
