15. Criticism of Scientific Management:
The theory of Scientific Management was heavily criticised by the
employers, the workers, and psychologists. Employers criticised the
process of scientific approach as costly and unworkable
It ignores the functional areas of management such as marketing,
finance and so on
Individual creativity is ignored by favouring one best way Workers
is reduced to a cog in the machines.
Mobility among workers gets restricted because of narrow
specialisation
Workers are not involved in the planning part of the job which was
controlled by the management.

19. A team of four members
Elton mayo,
White head,
Roethlisberger and
William Dickson
They conducted various researches in four phases with each phase
attempting to answer the question raised at the previous phase.
The phases are ---
Illumination experiments (1924-27)
Relay assembly test room experiments (1927-28)
Mass Interviewing Programme (1928-1930)
Bank wiring observation room experiments (1931-32)

20. Conclusions
Individual workers must be seen as members of a group
The sense of belongingness and effective management were the
two secrets unfolded by the Hawthorne experiments.
Informal or personal groups influenced the behaviour of
workers on the job
To seek workers cooperation, the management should be aware
of their social needs and cater to them

21. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology proposed
by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human
Motivation". Maslow subsequently extended the idea to
include his observations of humans' innate curiosity

22. Conclusion:
Maslow suggest that the various levels are interdependent and overlapping,
each higher level need emerging before the lower level need has been
completely satisfied. Since one need does not disappear when another
emerges, all needs tend to be partially satisfied in each area.

23. Frederick Irving Herzberg born in Massachusetts was an
American psychologist who became one of the most
influential names in business management. He is most
famous for introducing job enrichment and the Motivator-
Hygiene theory
Frederick Hertzberg conducted a structured interview
programme to analyse the experience and feelings of 200
engineers and accountants in nine different companies in
Pittsburg area, U.S.A during the structured interview, they were
asked to describe a few previous job experiences in which they
felt ‘exceptionally good’ or exceptionally bad about jobs.

25. Douglas Mc Gregor in his books “The Human Side of the
Enterprise” has pointed out two sharply opposite concepts of
Management Styles for the Motivation of Human Behaviour.
There are two sets of assumptions about human nature:
Theory X and Theory Y
Theory X presents an essentially negative view of people
Theory Y offers a positive view

27. Kast and Rosenweig defines,
“A system is an organised or complex whole: an assemblage
or combination of things or parts forming a complex unitary
whole”.
The central idea of this approach is that any object depends
on a method of analysis involving simultaneous variations of
mutually dependent variables. Systems are a set or
assemblage of various interdependent and inter related
variables. i.e. sub-systems, so as to form a complex unity

29. This is the most interesting area in the management.
Effective management lies in good leadership qualities
exhibited by the manager. Leadership is the process of
influencing the behaviour of other to work willingly an
enthusiastically for achieving predetermined goals

30. Definitions:
“Leadership is the process of influencing and supporting others
to work enthusiastically toward achieving objectives”.
– Barnard Key.
“Leadership is the ability to influence a group towards the
achievement of goals”
– Stephon. P. Robins
“Leadership is interpersonal influence exercised in a situation
and directed through communication process, towards the
attainment of a specified goal or goals”.
– Tennenbaum.

their superior.

37. A free-rein leader does not lead, but leaves the group entirely to
itself as shown in the following figure.
manager once determines policy, programmes, and limitations for
action and the entire process is left to subordinates group members
perform everything and the manager usually maintains contacts
with outside persons to bring the information and materials which
the group needs

39. Social responsibilities came in the 1930’s when the view was
advanced and accepted that managers of large companies must
make decision which maintain an equitable balance among the
shareholders, employees, customer, suppliers & general public.
