What Is It
How did you find the activities, so far? Based from the given activities, can you now define what
management is? Can you see management around you? What then is the nature of management and
what are its different functions? How is management and a manager interrelated to each other? In a
deeper aspect, who are the significant theorists in the evolution of management? And what are their
valuable contributions to the discipline of management? Let us find out in the next lessons.

Management Defined
Management is the process of coordinating and overseeing the work performance of individuals
working together in organizations, so that they could efficiently accomplish their chosen aims or goals.

Management covers the whole organization and is present in every area in the organization. For
management to be successful- coordination, efficiency and effectiveness are required to carry it out.

Similarly, a manager is a significant person whose role is different from other employees in the
organization. The managerial functions are performed by the manager. Thus, it can be summarized that
all organizations—no matter the kind, size, or location—need good managers in order to successfully
achieve their organizational goals and objectives.

Functions of Management
For managerial duties to be more understandable, it is broken down into five functions. These functions
include the following: planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling.

Table 1. Management Functions

Management Functions Definition

11
 Planning
Involves determining the organization’s goals or
performance objectives, defining strategic actions that
must be done to accomplish them, and developing
coordination and integration activities.

Organizing
Demands assigning tasks, setting aside funds, and
bringing harmonious relations among the individuals and
work groups or teams in the organization.

Staffing
Indicates filling in the different job positions in the
organization’s structure; the factors that
influence this function include: size of the organization,
types of jobs, number of individuals to be recruited, and
some internal or external pressures

Leading
Entails influencing or motivating subordinates to do their
best so that they would be able to help the
organization’s endeavor to attain their set goals.

Controlling
Involves evaluating and, if necessary, correcting the
performance of the individuals or work groups or teams
to ensure that they are all working toward the previously
set goals and plans of the organization.

Coordination, Efficiency, and Effectiveness:

Management functions when applied to organization and management is defined as functions needed in
order to accomplish the management process of coordinating and overseeing the work performance of
individuals working together in organizations;

The management functions namely: planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling—will be
wasted if coordination, efficiency, and effectiveness are not practiced by an organization’s
appointed managers. Top-level managers, middlelevel managers, and team leaders or supervisors must
all be conscious of the said practices of successful organizations as they perform their management
functions.

Webster’s Dictionary defines coordination as the harmonious, integrated action of the

various parts and processes of an organization; efficiency is being able to yield the maximum output
from a minimum amount of input; and effectiveness as being adopted to produce an effect, or being
able to do things correctly. When applied to management functions, coordination ensures that all
individuals, groups, or teams are harmoniously working together and moving toward the
accomplishment of the organization’s vision, mission, goals, and objectives; efficiency,
meanwhile, refers to the optimal use of scarce resources—human, financial, physical, and
mechanical— in order to bring maximum productivity; and effectiveness means “doing
things correctly” when engaged in activities that will help the organization attain its
aims.

 Lesson NATURE AND CONCEPTS OF
MANAGEMENT: Evolution of
2 Management Theories

Types and theories of Management

The development of the concepts of management today is a by-product of the various contributions of
major key players of management.

A. Scientific Management Theory

Frederick W. Taylor

The propenent for this management theory is Frederick W. Taylor (1856-1915). He is also known as the
Father of Scientific Management.This management theory makes use of the step by step, scientific
methods for finding the single best way for doing a job. Working as a mechanical engineer in a steel
company in Pennsylvania in the United States of America (USA) Taylor could not help but notice
the workers’ mistakes and inefficiencies in doing their routine jobs. Their lack of enthusiasm, the
discrepancy between their abilities and aptitudes, and their job assignments result to low output.
Because of these observations, Taylor tried to identify clear guidelines for the improvement of their
productivity.

Taylor’s Scientific Management Principles are as follows:

➢ Develop a science for each element of an individual’s work to replace the
old rule of thumb method.
➢ Scientifically select and then train, teach, and develop the workers.
➢ Heartily cooperate with the workers so as to ensure that all work is done in accordance
with the principles of the science that has been developed.
➢ Divide work and responsibility almost equally between management and workers.

B. General Administrative Theory

13
 Henri Fayol

The General Administrative Theory proposed by Henri Fayol (1841-1925) and Max Weber (1864-1920)
concentrates on the manager’s functions and what makes up good management practice or
implementation. Fayol’s 19th century writings were concerned with managerial activities which he
based on his actual experience as a managing director in a big coal mining company. Fayol believed that
management is an activity that all organizations must practice and viewed it as separate from all other
organizational activities such as marketing, finance, research and development, and others. Similarly,
Weber, a German sociologist wrote in the early 1900s that ideal organizations, especially large ones,
must have authority structures and coordination with others based on what he referred to as
bureaucracy. Present-day organizations still make use of Weber’s structural design.

C. Total Quality Management (TQM)

W. Edwards Deming Joseph M. Juran

Total Quality Management is a management philosophy that focuses on the satisfaction of customers,
their needs, and expectations. Quality experts W. Edwards Deming (1900–1993) and Joseph M. Juran
(1904–2008) introduced this customer-oriented idea in the 1950s, however, the concept had few
supporters. The Americans did not immediately take to the idea since the US was enjoying supremacy in
the global market at the time. Japanese manufacturers, on the other hand, took notice of it and
enthusiastically experimented on its application. When Japanese firms began to be recognized for their
quality products, Western managers were forced to give a more serious consideration of
Deming’s and Juran’s modern management philosophy that eventually became the
foundation of today’s quality management practices.

14
D. Organizational Behavior (OB) Approach

The Organizational Behavior (OB) approach involves the study of the conduct, demeanor, or action of
people at work. Research on behavior helps managers carry out their functions—leading, team building,
resolving conflict, and others. Robert Owen, Mary Parker Follett, Hugo Munsterberg, and Chester
Barnard were the early supporters of the OB approach. During the late 1700s, Owen noticed lamentable
conditions in workplaces and proposed ideal ways to improve the said conditions. Follett, in the early
1900s, introduced the idea that individual or group behavior must be considered in organizational
management. Likewise, in the early 1900s, Munsterberg proposed the administering of psychological
tests for the selection of would-be employees in companies. Barnard, in the 1930s, suggested that
cooperation is required in organizations since it is, mainly, a social system.

Management theories are theories that help improve the management process; and management
process is the coordinating and overseeing of the work performance of individuals working together in
organizations so that they could efficiently and effectively accomplish their chosen goals.

order for a bed.
Mang Donald’s Fast Food Restaurant’s cook had a nervous breakdown, in November
2013. Without provocation, he stabbed and seriously wounded two of his kitchen helpers. The

doing his daily chores had a history of mental illness.
