    Brief Introduction

    Organizational theory attempts to explain the workings of organizations, to produce


    understanding and appreciation of organizations. These theories are drawn from various bodies of
    knowledge and disciplines. Over the years, business analysts, economists, and academic researchers
    2

    have pondered several theories that attempt to explain the dynamics of business organizations,
    including the ways in which they make decisions, distribute power and control, resolve conflict, and
    promote or resist organizational change.

    Lesson 1: Organization Theories

    Organizational Theory - the study of the structure, functioning and performance of organization and
    the behavior of individual and groups within it.

    A. Classical Organization Theory


    (organization as a machine and human beings as components of that machine)

     emphasis was on specialization and co-ordination of activities


     efficiency at the top level and few at lower levels of organization

    Pillars of Classical Organization Theory


    1. Division of Labor - work must be divided to obtain specialization with a view to improve the
    performance of workers
    2. Scalar - the growth of chain of command, delegation of authority, unity of command and
    obligation to report
    3. Functional Process - division of organization into specialized parts or departments and
    regrouping of the parts into compatible units
    4. Structure - the framework of formal relationships among various tasks, activities and people
    in the organization
    5. Span of Control - the number of subordinates a manager can control; manager cannot
    exercise proper control if the number of subordinates increases beyond a certain figure

    B. Neo-Classical Organisation Theory


    (organization as a social system composed of numerous interacting parts)

     Organizational situation should be viewed in social, economic and technical terms


     Informal organizations exist within the formal organisation. Both are affected by and affect
    each other.
     Human being is independent and his behaviour can be predicted in terms of social factors at
    work.
     Team-work is essential for higher productivity
     Communication is necessary as it carries information for the functioning of the organisation
    and the feelings of the people at work
     Motivation is a complex process

    1. Flat Structure - wide span of control helps in motivation, chain of communication is shorter
    and it is free from hierarchical control
    2. Decentralization - It allows autonomy and initiative at the lower level. It also develops people
    to occupy higher positions in future
    3. Informal Organisation - the social structure of the organization
    3

    C. Modern Organization Theory


    (the only meaningful way to study organisation is to study it as a system)

    Systems Approach - studies the organisation in its totality; Organisation as a system can well be
    understood by identifying various sub-systems within it. Each sub-system may be identified by certain
    processes, roles, structures and norms of conduct

    Contingency Approach - suggests an organisational design which suits a particular unit. A structure
    will be suitable only if it is tailor made for an enterprise

    The factors which influence an organisation


     Environment
     Technology
     Size of operations
     People

    Organization System

    Input – Information or resources that are needed to supply the organizational system
    Throughputs – processes or activities within the organizational system that gets the work done
    Output – Outcomes, goods/services created of delivered by the organization

    Remember
    1. Organizational Theories explains the workings of organizations, to produce understanding and
    appreciation of organizations; this is under the perspective of Organizational Behavior (OB)
    2. Classification of Organizational Theories – Classical, Neoclassical and Modern.
    3. Classical Organizational Theories focuses on reaching maximum efficiency thru company processes’
    4. Neo Classical Organizational Theories incorporated human behavior.
    5. Modern Organizational Theories looks at an organization as a system.
