INTRODUCTIONImmaturity and maturity theory of motivation was proposed by CHIRS ARGYRIS. He is a business theorist and professor emeritus at Harvard Business School. Immaturity and maturity theory has become a widely accepted strategy for motivating and managing human resource. Immature and mature is a way of thinking that focus on individuals.

MEANING OF IMMATURE

Argy is found that when people enter in to a work environment, they are treated with distrust and are encourage to remain passive ,a dependent ,and subordinate, thus perpetuating the cycle immaturity. In an organisation , many people are treated as immature people by their co workers and superiors.

CHARACTERISTICS OF IMMATURE1- PASSIVE2-DEPENDENT3-BEHAVE IN A FEW AWAYS4-ERRATIC SHALLOW INTERST5-SHORT TIME PERSPECTIVE6-SUBORDINATE POSITION7-LACK OF AWARENESS OF SELF

MEANING OF MATURE According to Argyrols ,seven changes should take place in the personality of individuals if they are to develop into a mature people over the year. First, individuals move from a pass state as infants to a state of increasing activity as an adults. Second, individuals move from passive states of dependency upon others as infants to a state of relative independence as adults.Third ,individuals behave in only a few ways as infants , but as adults they are capable of behaving in many ways. Fourth, individuals have erratic , casual and shallow interests as infants but develop deeper and stronger interests adults. Fifth ,the time perspective of children is very short, involving only the present ,but as they mature, their time perspective increase to include past and future.

Sixth , individuals as infants are subordinate to everyone , but they move to equal or superior positions with others as adults. Seventh , as children ,individuals lack on awareness of a ‘self ’ but as adults they are not only aware of , but they are able to control ‘self ‘.

CHARACTERISTICS OF MATURE Active Independent Capable of behaving in many ways Deeper and stronger interest Long time perspective Superior position Awareness and control over self

CONCLUSIONFrom the above discussion it is clear that this theory has become a widely accepted strategy for motivating and managing human resources. This theory works in in practice when understand and accepted by the individuals and organisation involved.
