Organizations and Social System


 Organizations are social systems for they are organized on the basis of mutual interest.
Ex: Employer and worker relationship.

Social system
 A complex set of human relationships interacting in many and different ways.
 His behavior is influenced by the group he belongs to and by his personal drives and
aspirations.

Mutual interest
 Organization needs people and people also need organization.
 Mutual interest provides super ordinate goals for employees, for the organization and for
society.
Ethics
 It is a system of moral principles.
 The rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a
particular group.
Ex. Many companies and corporations have established codes of ethics and also
publicized statements of ethical values
 When organizational goals and actions conform with ethical standard, organizational and
social objectives are met.

Four basic approaches in organizational behavior


1. Human Resources Approach
 The philosophy of this approach is developmental.
 Specifically designed and concerned with the growth and development of people in order
to achieve higher levels of competency, creativity, and fulfilment.
 In order for this approach to be successful, employers should be more responsible by
creating an organizational climate conducive for all members.
 Under this approach, the manager’s role changes from control of employees to active
support of their organizational growth and development.
2. Contingency Approach
 The strength of this approach is that it encourages a thorough analysis of every situation
prior to action and at the same time, discourages virtually habitual practice based on
universal assumptions about people.
 Many management experts and practitioners perceived that there is no longer one best
way.
 This approach is also more interdisciplinary, more system-oriented and more research-
oriented than the traditional approach.
3. Result-oriented Approach
 All organization whether political, social, economic or religious, needs to accomplish
desirable results.
 The principal objective for organizations to survive is to produce the necessary output.
 Productivity is measured in terms of economic inputs and outputs.
 Better organizational behavior can naturally improve job satisfaction.
4. System Approach
 This approach is a type of behavioural approach in which the manager takes a holistic
perspective of the whole subject.
 Holistic organizational behavior interprets people-organization relationships in terms of
the whole person, whole group, whole organization and whole social system in its total
cooperative effort to understand as many of the intervening factors as possible that
affects an individual’s behavior in the work environment.
 Existing problems are analyzed in relation to the total condition affecting the entire
organization rather than treating the problem in an isolated case.

Characteristics of a Healthy Organization:


1. Objectives are so widely shared by the members and there is a strong and consistent flow of
energy towards those objectives.
2. People feel free to signal their awareness of difficulties because they expect the problems to
be dealt with and they are optimistic that these problems can be solved.
3. Problem-solving is highly pragmatic. In attacking problems, people work informally and are
not preoccupied with status, territory, or second guessing “what higher management will
think.” A great deal of non-conforming behavior is tolerated.
4. The judgement of people lower down in the organization is respected.
5. Collaboration is freely entered into. People readily request the help of others and are willing
to give in turn. Ways of helping one another are highly developed. Individuals and groups
compete with one another, but they do so fairly and in the direction of a shared goal.
