MGT Theories
The development of mgt thought can be grouped in four major periods Classical Neo classical System Approach Modern approach
Management Theory
Classical Approaches
Frederick Taylor: Scientific Management (1886) Frank and Lillian Gilbreth: Time/motion studies (later 1800s) Henri Fayol: 14 Principles of Management (1880s-1890s) Max Weber : Bureaucracy (1920s)
Behavioral Approaches
The Hawthorne Experiment (1927) MacGregors Theory X and Theory Y (1960)
Task Performance
Scientific management incorporates basic expectations of management, including:
Development of work standards Selection of workers Training of workers Support of workers
Supervision
Taylor felt that a single supervisor could not be an expert at all tasks.
As a result, each first-level supervisor should be responsible only workers who perform a common function familiar to the supervisor. This became known as Functional Foremanship.
Motivation
Taylor believed money was the way to motivate workers to their fullest capabilities.
He advocated a piecework system in which workers pay was tied to their output. Workers who met a standard level of production were paid a standard wage rate. Workers whose production exceeded the standard were paid at a higher rate for all of their production output.
Financial incentives
Putting right worker in right job not enough A system of financial incentives is also needed
Functional foremanship
Division of labor between manager and workers Manager plans, prepares, inspects Worker does the actual work Functional foremen , specialized experts, responsible for specific aspects of the job
