Evolution of Management

1.Classical Approach2.Neo – classical Approach

Human Relations MovementBehavioral Management

TheoryTheory of X and Y

Neoclassical Theory referred to as  behavioral  science approach to modifying and improving the classical theory. While classical theories focused more on structure and physical aspects of the worker and Neo-classical theory gives importance to human and social aspects of the worker and his relations in the organization.

Neoclassical Theory

It is a term that refers to the researchers of organizational development who study the behavior of people in particular workplace groups.It is based on the Hawthrone experiments. Elton Mayo conducted the Hawthrone experiments at Hawthron plant of General Electronic Company (GEC) between 1927 and 1993 at Chicago with 30,000 workers. The Hawthron plant was manufacturing telephone system bell. 

Human Resource Movement

The objective of the experiment was to find out the behavior and attitude of workers at workplace under better working conditions. In the company, when management provide the benefits of medical allowance and pension with recreational facilities. 

Human Resources Movement

Even thought workers get all facilities but the productivity was not up to expectation. So, in 1924, the professor Elton Mayo and his research team investigate the reasons for dissatisfaction of employees and decrease in productivity.

Human Resource Movement

Evolution of Management

Four Phase of Hawthrone experiments:

•Illumination experiments (1924 – 1927) •Relay assembly room experiments (1927 – 1928) •Mass interviewing programmed (1928 -1930) •Bank wiring room study (1931 – 1932)

Result of Hawthrone Experiments:

o Motivation: Employees are not motivated by only money (bonus scheme and incentive).

o Communication: communication helps the management and employees to have better mutual understanding. Through proper communication, management can easily identified the problem faced by its employees and can easily solve out.

o Social factors: Social factors are responsible for deciding the level of output.

o Behavior of workers: workers are not as individual identity but as members of a group in an organization and they have their own norms and beliefs. Workers behavior depends upon his mental level and emotions. Workers began to influence their group behavior towards management.

o Relationship: Employees do not like order and command. They preferred to maintain amicable relationship with their co-workers. They want co-operative attitude from their superiors.

o Production level: Teamwork and Group psychology increases productivity.

Criticism of Hawthrone Experiments:

o Hawthrone experiment was not conducted scientifically. o In the experiment, various format and structure are not

feasible. o Eltone Mayo gives more importance to human aspect and

ignoring other important aspects. o Group conflict is prevalent in an organization. o Hawthrone experiment did not give any recognition to the

forces which are responsible for productivity in the organization. o During experiment, Eltone Mayo has assumed that a satisfied

employee would be productive.

Behavioral Movement

The behavioral management theory is often called the human relations movement because it addresses the human dimension of work. Behavioral theorists believed that a better understanding of human behavior at work, such as motivation, conflict, expectations, and group dynamics, improved productivity.

Behavioral Movement

Abraham Maslow, a practicing psychologist, developed one of the most widely recognized need theories, a theory of motivation based upon a consideration of human needs . His theory of human needs had three assumptions:

Behavioral Movement

o Human needs are never completely satisfied.

o Human behavior is purposeful and is motivated by the need for satisfaction.

o Needs can be classified according to a hierarchical structure of importance, from the lowest to highest.

Maslow’s Hierarchy

Neo – Classical Theory

Theory of X and Y

Douglas McGregor was heavily influenced by both the Hawthorne studies and Maslow. He believed that two basic kinds of managers exist. One type, the Theory X manager, has a negative view of employees and assumes that they are lazy, untrustworthy, and incapable of assuming responsibility.On the other hand, the Theory Y manager assumes that employees are not only trustworthy and capable of assuming responsibility, but also have high levels of motivation.

Theory of X and Y

Theory of X and Y

An important aspect of McGregor's idea was his belief that managers who hold either set of assumptions can create self‐fulfilling prophecies — that through their behavior, these managers create situations where subordinates act in ways that confirm the manager's original expectations.

Classical Organization

al Theory

The approach that assumes that there is a

single best way to design organizations.

This approach assumes that managers need to have close control over their subordinates and

calls for designing organizations with tall

hierarchies and a narrow span of control.

Neoclassical Organization

al Theory

An attempt to improve on the classical

organizational theory that argues that not only economic effectiveness,

but also employee satisfaction, should be goals of an industrial

organization.

This approach assumes that managers do not

have to carefully monitor their subordinates and

calls for designing organizations with flat.
