Administrative principles Max Weber’s principles:
Manager’s authority derives from position in organization
People should be given position because of performance
Each position’s responsibility and authority should be clearly defined
Clearly specified hierarchy of authority System of rules and standard operating procedures
which specify how employees should behave.

today Some notable mentions of principles

Behavioral Management Theory
Emphasized understanding human behavior.Dealt with needs & attitudes in the workplace.Truly effective control comes from within the
individual worker rather than authoritarian control.Hawthorne Studies brought this perspective to
forefront.

Behavioral Management Theory Mary Parker Follett Scientific management approaches ignored human
side of organization Management should involve workers in finding
better ways to perform tasks Knowledge and expertise should be deciding factor
in who should lead – not manager’s formal authority Precursor to self-managed teams

Behavioral Management Theory“Managers get things done through people”
Western Electric Company’s Hawthorn Studies (1920s)– Elton Mayo
Started from studies looking at how amount of illumination affected productivity – found that productivity increased in control and experimental groups
Numerous experiments performed on wage incentives, job design, etc. over a decade found that positive treatment of employees had more influence on group productivity.
Money isn’t the only motivator – group norms, standards New emphasis on “human factor” in management

The Contingency ApproachThere is no one best way to organize.
Situations are unique. There are no universal principles of management.
Managers search for key contingencies – important patterns and characteristics
for organizations to be effective, there must be a “goodness of fit” between their structure and the conditions in their external environment.
