ORGANIZATION
THEORY
Improvements in organization theory led to consideration of
the work environment. Productivity improves in an
environment with consistency of values and purpose.
Organizations can succeed with a cohesive environment
where subordinates are accepting of managerial authority,
like employees are empowered and given authority to
decide on certain things; this system is useful in the building
up of employees' career.
CONTINGENCY THEORY
Contingency theory deals mainly with conflict, which
previous theories considered something to be avoided at all
costs. Conflict is unavoidable, but according to contingency
theory it is manageable. Organizations evolve to meet their
own strategic needs in rational, sequential and linear ways.
Adapting to changes in the environment is important to
managerial and organizational success. Managers must be
able to make decisions contingent on current
circumstances.
SYSTEMS THEORY
Systems theory describes the interconnection of all parts of
an organization and how one change in one area can affect
multiple other parts. Systems may not always interact in a
lineal manner. Small changes in one part may cause big
changes in another part, while large changes in one area may
only result in small changes in another. Organizations act as
systems interacting with their environment.
