C
D
E
Here, A is a boss who give command to B, C,
D, E for specific jobs.

• This model depends on economic
resources.
• This model leads to employee
dependence on an organization rather
than on boss.
• This model is adapted by firms having
high resources.
• Under his model, employees were only
satisfied and happy but not strongly
motivated.

'leadership' instead of power or money.
• Through leadership, management
provides climate to help employees
grow and accomplish the job in the
interest of the organization.

“they” while referring to their
organisation.

the coach that builds a better team.
• The management is seen as joint
contributor rather than as a boss.

responsibility to contribute towards

23. Limitation of OB:-
• It cannot abolish conflict and frustration but
can only reduce them.
• OB helps an individual to understand human
behavior only at workplace or he she may be

on motivation ,efficiency, productivity there
exists a kind of competition among workers
and they are not able to live in harmony.
• And so on.
