General Systems Theory
Biologically speaking
What is an organism?An integrated system of interdependent structures and functions

Organization
An organization is an integrated system of interdependent structures and functions

General Systems Theory
An organization is constituted of groups and a group consists of persons who must work in harmony. Each person must know what the others are doing. Each one must be capable of receiving messages and must be sufficiently disciplined to obey. . . .
F.K. Berrian
Two central concepts: subsystems and multiple causation.

Peter Senge and The Fifth Discipline
Peter Senge wrote a popular book in 1990 titled, The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization.
The five disciplines are: personal mastery, mental models, team learning, shared vision, and systems thinking.
The fifth discipline, Systems Thinking, is essential for integrating the other four disciplines in making the organization effective.

School
A school is an integrated system of interdependent structures and functions.

Types of Systems
Open - Interact with their environment Maintain a steady state Are self-regulating
Closed - do not Interact with their environment

Are schools open or closed systems?
Inputs from society
Educational process
Outputs to society

Linear ModelIs this how things really happen?Does the Educational process
ever effect the inputs?Do the outputs ever effect the
inputs?

For schools, we define closed systems as those organizations that tend to limit the influence of the community and tend to proceed as though unrelated to the larger real world in which they exist.

Daniel GriffithsThe organization(System)
exists in an environment (Suprasystem) having within it an administrative apparatus ( subsystem)

Where does the individual fit in?
The individual is functioning in the organization not only as an individual but also as one who occupies a certain role within the social system in the organization.

Where does the individual fit in?
The individual is functioning in the organization not only as an individual but also as a teacher within the department in the School.

The individual shapes his/her role and is also shaped by it.
![Page 22: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Role Theory
The dynamic interaction of people with varying psychological makeups in the organizational setting is the domain of role theory.
![Page 23: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Useful Terms
Role – Expectations of behavior held by the individual and others
Role description – Actual behavior of the role incumbent
Role Prescription - Behavioral norm of what is expected
Role Expectation – the expectations that one individual has for the behavior of others
![Page 24: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Role Perception – the perception that an individual holds for another’s perception about his/her role expectation
Manifest Role – The obvious and prime role of an individual
Latent Role – A role that is not expressed at a given time
![Page 25: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Can lead to role conflict
Two people are unable to establish a satisfactory or reciprocal relationship.
Role expectations may conflict with the personality needs of the role incumbent.
![Page 26: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Role Ambiguity – role prescription contains contradictory elements or is vague
![Page 27: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Role Set - can be described in graphic terms which includes all players important to the role perception and role expectations of any particular role.

Getzels and Guba
We conceive of the social system as involving two major classes of phenomena, which are conceptually independent and phenomenally interactive.
![Page 31: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Getzels and Guba
There are, first, institutions with certain roles and expectations that will fulfill the goals of the system.
![Page 32: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Getzels and Guba
Second, inhabiting the system are the individuals with certain personalities and need-dispositions, whose interactions comprise what we generally call “social behavior.”

Equilibrium - Needs of the organization and those of the Individual Schmidt ($1.15 for 12.5 tons - $1.85 for 47.5
tons) Collective bargaining
Homeostasis - Schools adapt and deal effectively with changes in the environment
Feedback - Circular pattern of information
![Page 40: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Role Related to Social Systems Theory (continued)
Changes in the environment stimulate a reaction that is either static or dynamic: In Static reactions, the organization
responds to maintain status quo. Dynamic equilibrium is characterized by
subsystem changes to steady the system (i.e., homeostasis).
![Page 41: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Role Related to Social Systems Theory (continued)
Systems that do not have sensitive antennae picking up accurate feedback information or that do not provide information to decision makers, find it difficult to react appropriately to environmental changes.
Such systems tend to be in a static, rather than in a dynamic, equilibrium with their environments. They tend to lack the self-correcting, homeostatic processes essential to maintaining themselves in environments characterized by change.
These organizations will decline over time.
![Page 42: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Why did so many high schools adopt block scheduling?
Reaction to feedback 1. Too many topics to concentrate on at one
time 2. Some lessons require more than 45 min
class 3. Students are carrying too many books 4. Too much homework
![Page 43: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
What do you need to do to effectively implement block scheduling?
Structure Schedule Facilities Contract
Task Teach for 90 min Staff Development
Technology Curriculum Materials
People Buy in Abilities Training needs

Sociotechnical Systems Theory
A change in one subsystem will affect the other subsystems.
Owens and Steinhoff
![Page 45: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Contingency Theory
Different beliefs in organizational theory, such as classical, human relations, or human resources, will lead to competing advocacy positions.
None of the three approaches is superior in all situations. - Do you agree?
![Page 46: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Contingency Theory (continued)
Organizational structure and management methods can be identified as being most effective under specific situational contingencies.
Three basic propositions underlie the contingency approach to organizational behavior in schools: There is no one best universal way to organize and administer
school districts or schools. Not all ways of organizing and administering are equally
effective in a given situation: effectiveness is contingent upon appropriateness of the design or style to the situation.
The selection of organizational design and administrative style should be based on careful analysis of significant contingencies in the situation.
![Page 47: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Contingency Theory (continued)
Organizations that deal successfully with uncertain environments tend to differentiate internally more than less successful organizations do; yet they are able to maintain high levels of integration between the various subunits.
New technological developments, typically developed externally, of every description tend to alter the contingencies that affect the internal arrangements of the school.
The school system or school, as a sociotechnical system, is in constant dynamic interaction with the larger external environment in which it exists.
![Page 48: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
THE QUESTION
What style will likely yield the most productive behavior (in terms of achieving organizational goals) from subordinates in this situation?
Different administrative styles will evoke predictably different responses from individuals
![Page 49: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
The Effective Leader
Is able to match leadership style to the contingencies of the situation in order to achieve the behavior on the part of subordinates that will contribute most to achieving the goals of the school district or the school.
![Page 50: SYSTEMS THEORY CHAPTERS 1, 3 &7 IN HOY & MISKEL Dr. Len Elovitz.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f505503460f94c73501/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Research indicates that the most effective organizations are those in which human resources leadership is prime.
