Beginning of the Social Person Theories
As we begin to examine the social person era, we turn our focus to including the ‘people’ aspect into management theories a bit more explicitly. I’m also going to be giving you a bit less guidance, and just giving you a few theories / topics instead of a lengthy list of topics and authors. This week’s list include:
- The Hawthorne Studies (illumination study, relay-assembly test room study, bank-wiring observation room)
- Human relations and human collaboration
- Human relations Leadership
- Motivation
- Organization Integration (conflict resolution, power and authority, leadership / executives, formal organizational structures)
- People and Organizations (motivation, job enrichment / enlargement, participatory decision making, macro- and micro- views of people and organizations)
The Hawthorne Studies really started this movement and there is a lot of work that stemmed from those studies. Prepare a one page summary of the article you found and post it to the discussion forum. APA 7TH FORMAT
