The Various Theories of
Organization & Management
Introduction
 Though people have had to ‘manage’ people,
operations and organizations for many
centuries, the concept of ‘management’ is less
than 150 years old. It was first developed in
Europe by Henri Fayol (1916) and in America
by F.W. Taylor (1911).

THEORY
Classical Approach
Scientific Management
Theory
This theory was propounded by
Frederick Winslow Taylor. Taylor
believed that by analysing work in
a scientific manner, it was
possible to find the one best
way to perform a task. He felt that
by organising work in the most
efficient way, the organisation's
productivity would be increased,
allowing it to reward employees
with additional remuneration,
which Taylor argued was
employee's only motivation.
1) Replace the old rule-of-thumb method through the
development of a science for every component of a man’s
work.
2) Select, train, show and improve the workman through
scientific method.
3) Collaboration with men wholeheartedly so as to complete
the assignment scientifically.
4) Equally divide the work and the responsibility concerning
the management and the worker. The management gets all
determination for which they are fine fitted than the
workmen
Taylor explains on his theories of management in 1911, while he
circulated “The Principles of Scientific Management”. Scientific
management comprised of four fundamental principles:
Bureaucratic Management
Theory
 Bureaucratic Theory was developed by a
German Sociologist and political
economist Max Weber (1864-1920). According
to him, bureaucracy is the most efficient form
of organisation. The organisation has a well-
defined line of authority. It has clear rules and
regulations which are strictly followed.
1. A clear definition of distinct and separate areas of competence, laid
down in laws and regulations
2. A clearly defined hierarchy of office: Every position or office is
accountable to and supervised by a higher office
3. All decisions are made on the basis of written documents and
according to written rules
4. The relations within the organization and all decisions are purposely
impersonal and devoid of personal interests
5. The officials have received extensive education in their areas of
competence
6. They are employed on the basis of their expertise, their
appointment is full-time and excludes other occupations
7. They have set salaries paid in money
Principles for the bureaucracy:
Administrative Management
Theory
 The first expert of Administrative Management
Theory was Henri Fayol (1841-1925). Fayol is
called the "Father of Modern Management".
According to the Administrative Management
Theory / School, management is the process of
getting things done through people. Here
importance is given to groups and not to
individuals.
 He believed that management is a science which
can be taught and argued that there are six basic
business activities: technical, commercial,
financial, security, accounting and managerial.
His fourteen ‘principles of management’ are:
Luther Gulick, strongly influenced by Fayol formed the acronym
POSDCORB as the major duties of a manager. (Planning,
organizing, directing, staffing, co-ordinating, reporting,
budgeting)
Managerial Activities by Fayol
B. NEO-CLASSICAL APPROACH
1. HUMAN RELATIONS THEORY
2. BEHAVIORAL THEORY
Neo-Classical Approach
Human Relations Theory
 The founder of the human relations theory is Elton Mayo.
The most investigated areas of the human relations theory are of all
the following:
 Work motivation
 Worker’s participation in decision-making
 Communication
 Informal working groups
 Working morale
 Worker’s relations to the changes
 Working conditions
 Informal organization, and the other.
 The main objectives of the investigations made into the human
relations theory was in looking for the methods by which one could
again make happy the workers and thus get them for more active
work.
Behavioral Theory
 It is a mature version Human Relations theory.
It studies how managers should personally
behave to motivate employees and encourage
them to perform at high levels and be
committed to the achievement of organization
goals.
 Some of major contributors and their
contributions:
• “How orders should be given in any
organization: They should be depersonalized
‘to unite all concerned in a study of the
situation, to discover the law of the situation
and obey that”.
Mary Parker Follett
“All humans have needs that underlie their motivational structure”
“As lower levels of needs are satisfied, they no longer ‘drive’ behavior”
“Satisfied needs are not motivators”
“As lower-level needs of workers become satisfied, higher-order needs
take over as the motivating forces”
Abraham
Maslow:
Hierarchy
of
Needs
He played a key role in promoting this redirection, through
his efforts at sharpening the philosophical contrast between
the human relations approach and the scientific
management and administrative principles perspectives.
Known for his Theory X and Theory Y – contrasting basic
managerial assumptions about employees
• Theory X holds that human beings inherently dislike work
and will avoid it if possible.
• Theory Y is a participative style of management which
“assumes that people will exercise self-direction and self-
control in the achievement of organisational objectives to the
degree that they are committed to those objectives”.
Douglas M. McGregor

4. LEARNING ORGANIZATION APPROACH
5. TEAM BUILDING THEORY
6. CHAOS THEORY
7. OPEN SYSTEM THEORY
8. CONTINGENCY THEORY/APPROACH
Modern Management Theories
Modern Management
Theories
 -The organization can
survive many different
situation
 -The organization will
be more adaptive to
change by predictions
 -Continuous
Improvement
 -Solve complex and
detail problem
 -Hard to understand
 -Need advance
math and modelling
Strengths Weaknesses
System Approach, Quantitative Approach,
Total Quality Management Approach, Learning
Organization Approach, Team Building Theory,
Chaos Theory, Contingency Theory/Approach,
Open System Theory are included into modern
management theories because these theories
were developed in late 20th century (after 1950)
and haven’t found yet in the classical and neo-
classical era.
