goals

and
organizational design is a technical matter and the rational
so

*Is Rational Approach the best way to slip
into Unitarist?
05/01/2023 By: Masoud khojastehfar
BUT
1- rational approach assumes that there is only one way of making sense of problem or situation
2- emphasis on rationality leads to missing the importance of emotions and feelings
05/01/2023 By: Masoud khojastehfar
The importance of emotionsemotion is a subjective, conscious experience characterized primarily by psychophysiological
expressions, biological reactions, and mental states
• Most of the time, we do not perform most of activities associated with organizing in a cool and rational way
Rather
• We have feelings about many such activities• Emotions are more important in services sections like airlines

Understanding human behavior
• 1-We can start from bottom –up by studying individuals behavior and to find definitions for them. This method should be done by psychology tools.(ie: interview)
• 2- we can start from a macro view and to individuals. This method is mostly based on sociology approach
05/01/2023 By: Masoud khojastehfar
Risks of studying organizations
• 1- organization is nothing more than mental structure and it has no dimension like objects
• 2- organizations are surrounded by economical, political, technical, social and natural environment and could not be studied in isolated conditions
05/01/2023 By: Masoud khojastehfar

In theory, theory and practice are the same.In practice, theory and practice are different.
From “LEADERSHIP ... with a human touch ”20 October 1998
Theory provides a sound basis for action BUT
if the action is to be effective the theory must
be adequate and appropriate to the task and
to improved organisational performance
MANAGEMENT THEORY
05/01/2023 By: Masoud khojastehfar
Emphasis on purpose, formal structure, hierarchy of
management, technical requirements and common principles of organisation.
This perspective was concerned with structuring organisations effectively.
Two major sub-groupings of this approach are:
Scientific Management (sometimes categorised as an approach in its own right)
Bureaucracy
MANAGEMENT THEORY CLASSICAL APPROACH
05/01/2023By: Masoud khojastehfar
SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT
Emphasis on obtaining increased productivity fromindividual workers through the technical structuring ofthe work organisation and the provision of monetaryincentives as the motivator for higher levels of output.
Major Contributor - FW TAYLOR (1856 - 1917) - heldthe view that there was a best working method by whichpeople should undertake their jobs.
MANAGEMENT THEORY CLASSICAL APPROACH
05/01/2023By: Masoud khojastehfar
TAYLOR’S PRINCIPLES1-the development of a true science for each person’s
work. (separate planning from doing)
2-Each task scientifically analysed and the most efficient way found for doing. (job analysing)
3-the scientific selection, training and development of the workers. (job assignment)
4-co-operation with the workers to ensure work is carried out in the prescribed way and pay as per production rate.(payment method)
MANAGEMENT THEORY CLASSICAL APPROACH
05/01/2023By: Masoud khojastehfar
For Management:Increasing productivity, to have expert for each task,
save time not to switch workers from on job to another.
For Workers:Higher wage for additional productivity
Advantages of (Taylorism)
05/01/2023By: Masoud khojastehfar
1-Specific goal is to get more output from the workers2-Incentive system would dehumanise the workplace
3-Inadequate views of employee motivation4-Result in work that is boring and meaningless
5-There is no opportunity for workers to think how they may be improved.
6-Disruption production due to considerable interdependence between workers
7-Ignoring emotions8-insisting on the one best way
9-ignoring workers interactions (psychological needs and capabilities of workers)
Disadvantages of Taylorism

individual memory5 -employees know what is expected of them
6 -fosters efficiency, reduce bias
05/01/2023By: Masoud khojastehfarWEBER’S IDEAL BUREAUCRACY(1864-1920)Negative consequences
1 -prevents employees recognizing , caring about problems not in their domain1 -inhibits job rotation and flexible use of personnel
2 -prevent employees to contributing to decision 2 -allows errors to be hidden
3 -can restrict the psychological growth of the individual in their job3 -individuals throughout the company are promoted to their level of incompetence
4 -employees come to see record-keeping as an end in itself rather than means to an end4 -recorded precedents stifle attempts at company innovation; inhibits flexibility, adaptability
and responsiveness
5 -introduces delays; stifle initiative and creativity5 -leads to individual and sub-unit goals replacing organization objective; rules define
minimum levels of acceptable performance.
6 -dehumanizing prevents responding to unique features of clients who are treated as standard case
6 -creates a climate of alienation through the firms as employees come to see themselves as small cogs in a wheel
