...of management thought has followed societal trends of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The nineteenth century works of Charles Babbage and Robert Owen were concerned with the early factory system as well making social progress. The classical school and bureaucratic school of the early twentieth century were the first efforts to generate a comprehensive theory of management. This school included Max Weber and Henri Fayol. Fayol was the father of the administrative management school. He had a profound affect on much of administrative theory during the early part of the twentieth century. Frederick Taylor, the engineer, established the scientific method of management. The behavioral school made a profound influence on management theory. It is a revolutionary period of management theory. It includes the Nobel prize winning critic of the early proverbs of administration, Herbert Simon, as well as the landmark Hawthorne Experiment ushering in the human relations branch of the bureaucratic method. The behavioral school also includes the first female organizational theorist, Mary Parker Follet. A major result of the behavioral school is the demise and repudiation of the classical school of management. The human relations school of management is extremely important in dealing with the concept of employee motivation. Herbert Maslow developed the hierarchy of needs theory while Douglas McGregor developed Theory X and Y. The behavioral research school applies much of the needs theory...

...HOW DO 360 DEGREE PERFORMANCE REVIEWS AFFECT EMPLOYEE ATTITUDES, EFFECTIVENESS AND PERFORMANCE? DIANE M. ALEXANDER University of Rhode Island Organizational leaders clearly have many choices when selecting performance evaluation and development tools. One tool that has gained popularity and has become a growing trend in Corporate America in recent years is the 360 degree performance review. This popularity is based on the perceptions of organizational leader’s that 360 degree reviews establish a culture for continuous learning and provide more global feedback for employees, which leads to improved performance. According to Human Resource Consultant, William M. Mercer, forty percent of American companies used 360 degree feedback in1995; by 2000 this number had jumped to sixty-five percent. In 2002, 90% of Fortune 500 companies were using a 360 degree performance review process. (Linman, 2006) Conducting performance reviews in general, provides a number of valuable functions for organizations. They allow an organization to: • Translate department/organization’s mission into specific achievable goals • Manage performance rather than react to it • Reduce overlap of job duties and ineffective, inefficient use of employee skills • Provide written acknowledgment of completed work • Gain new information and ideas from staff • Discuss skill and career development • Protect organization from unfounded charges of discrimination • Reduce stress for the supervisor -managing rather than...

...oday’s organization are not only complex but ever-changing to meet the needs of a competitive environment. In fact, organizational theorists oftentimes use metaphors to describe and explain organizational structure. Jex and Britt (2008) point out that like the human body with all its internal organs working together to survive in the external environment, organizations are in constant interaction with the environment and must function with the larger ecosystem in which it exists. This paper will review the organizational process, identify theories associated with organizational development, and describe the conditions necessary for an organization to change and grow. Many definitions of organizational development process exist; however, Porras and Roberts (1992) combined them and stated that, Organizational development is a set of behavioral science-based theories, values, strategies, and technologies aimed at planned change of the organizational work setting for the purpose of enhancing individual development and improving organizational performance through the alteration of organizational members’ on-the-job-behaviors (Jex & Britt, 2008, p. 473). In simpler terms, the key to organizational change is to change the behaviors of employees so that the organization can improve performance. There are many reasons to facilitate change in an organization; however, the most compelling reason is survival. Jex and Britt (2008) suggest that other reasons can include remaining...

...become the first challenge facing HR professionals around the world, according to the 2015 Global Human Capital Trends report, released by Deloitte. The report concludes, “Today’s HR challenges require a new playbook—one that helps make HR more agile, forward thinking and bolder in its solutions.” The report says today’s organizations are facing a new world of work that will require a reshaping of strategies for leadership and talent management. Because culture is the driving force in most organizations, engagement and retention strategies need to be responsive to these changes. However, more than half of survey respondents said their organizations have poor programs or no programs at all in place to gauge or bolster engagement levels. Other issues uncovered by the report include a global lack of leadership succession programs, with only 10 percent of respondents saying they have an “excellent” program in place, and the need for a complete makeover of most HR departments. Only 5 percent believe their organization's performance is excellent, with 22 percent saying their department is adapting to their workplace’s changing needs . What is happening in HR in 2011? Are we going to see a shift in the way that HR managers are recruiting employees to their organizations, or are we still going to be treading water in a stormy economic climate? One of the most important trends in HR development has been the increased amount of people competing for available positions from overseas. Companies...

Since, the structure of formal organizations have a more conventional bureaucratic organizational they may profit in implementing a more flexible organizational structure. Some of the areas that I will investigate are: how formal organizations have evolved over the past century, the differences between formal and informal organizations, what are the current trends in formal organizations, and what are the characteristics needed for formal organizations to evolve. Formal Organizations Over The Past Century: Max Weber developed a typology of organizations from ancient China to modern industrial society, providing the foundation for the sociology of organizations. In particular, Weber was concerned with what he considered to be the most rational form of organization, the bureaucracy, and the authority embedded in it. Weber noted that bureaucracies, prior to industrialization, were large and efficient but were guided by the patrimonial culture and the ruling aristocracy. (In World of Sociology, 2001.) In past centuries formal organizations functioned under what is called conventional bureaucracy. The ideal typical model of Bureaucracy given by Max Weber is the milestone in understanding the functioning of modern government. The Weberian model categorically focuses on two dimensions (i)The Structural, relating to the hierarchical...
