The famous experiments of Hawthorne Works in Chicago and Western Electric Company too contributed to further development.

After further developments the branch was restricted

only to specific problems Though complex problems were dealt a majority was left behind. Only simple issues were dealt. The complex issues were not only left behind they became more complicated.

A lot of Sociological Thinking is happening and

going on. Today a lot of Systematic Research is happening on. Today they are of lot of importance to all organizations.

Step 2 (Middle phase Or Organizing Phase) 1.Division Of Work (Drawing lines or marking the work depending on the company strategies. Care should be taken to see the entire work of organization is given to all members of the organization starting from line manger to that of H.R manger to in order to increase efficiency and performance of the organization.

Process Of Organization.

2. Grouping Of Activities.( A step clearly similar to the nature and also closely related .Grouping of activities is highly essential .Care should be taken to ensure that all loose activities are grouped under one head or co ordination should be made 3.Assingment Of Work (Similar to division of labour except that here activities are divided based on the departments ;occupations ;qualifications etc .Usually in assigning the work the organization (management) or senior head will play a great role. A most important step after Division of Labour because only through this step all loose activities can be co ordinated.

Organization As a structure.

Organizations Or Business need to function in long run .Though its characteristics ;essentials define it .It is only through the Organizational Structure the real meaning or existence happen. 1.Organization structure explains the position and official relationships between the various individuals working in an organization. 2.It helps in better understanding of organization. 3.It is also analyzes i. Who is the top most official in an organization? ii. Who are the departmental heads ;What are their functions? iii. Who are the subordinate staff in each department? iv. Etc

Organization Element Of Feeling.

Organizations dont come just like that rather they need to be formed .When one speaks about formation of organization it is often traced to the peoples involvement .Which is only termed as management. It is only through the management the Success Or Failure or The Strongness or Weakness is determined. However today a lot of organizations have realized the importance of human labour as people of emotions.

Integrative and Pattern Maintainace.

It is highly difficult to find any organization without any goals. Though all goals are planned and efforts are made to improvise them. It is only through the Integrative and Pattern Maintainace the real objectives are identified. The integrative and pattern maintenance do the following. 1.Individual (The various personality traits of an individual along with his motives and attitudes are something very important .Integrative and Pattern Maintainace deals about this by examing What he wants to do for the organization.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF ORGANIZATION AND MODULES OF ORGANIZATION.

Organization or Organizations may have different

purposes however earning profit is the most common goal of every organization. However it should be noted that every organization tends to differ In Size In Structure In Areas of Operation. Etc All these differences may cause some level of confusion .Which is thus resolved by Modules of Organization and Typology.

Typology of Organization or Classification of Organization

or Different Organizations can be divided on four types. 1. Based on Structure 2. Based on Operation 3. Based on Performance 4. Based on Organizational Behaviour. Modules of Organization can be classified into four types 1. Autocratic 2. Custodial 3. Supportive 4. Collegial.

MODULES OF ORGANIZATION.

MODULES OF ORGANIZATION. Organizations differ in the quality of Organizational

Behaviour that they develop. These differences are substantially caused by different models of organizational behaviour that dominate the managements thought in each organization. These differences tend to dominate different ideologies and assumptions of a person/manger/industry. The underlying principle in this theory or model is that ; THEY ACT AS ACCORDING TO THEIR THOUGHT Keith Davis has suggested and has also defined four models of organization.

MODULES OF ORGANIZATION. Autocratic Module. (Power ;Authority) The autocratic model depends on power. Those who are in command must have the power to demand you do this-or else, meaning that an employee who does not follow orders will be penalized. In an autocratic environment the managerial orientation is formal, official authority. This authority is delegated by right of command over the people to it applies. Under autocratic environment the employee is obedience to a boss, not respect for a manager. The psychological result for employees is dependence on their boss, whose power to hire, fire, and perspire them is almost absolute. The boss pays minimum wages because minimum performance is given by employees. They are willing to give minimum performance-though sometimes reluctantly-because they must satisfy subsistence needs for themselves and their families. Some employees give higher performance because of internal achievement drives, because they personally like their boss, because the boss is a natural-born leader, or because of some other factor; but most of them give only minimum performance.

MODULES OF ORGANIZATION. Custodial (Economic Resources ) A successful custodial approach depends on economic resources. The resulting managerial orientation is toward money to pay wages and benefits. Since employees physical needs are already reasonably met, the employer looks to security needs as a motivating force. If an organization does not have the wealth to provide pensions and pay other benefits, it cannot follow a custodial approach. The custodial approach leads to employee dependence on the organization. Rather than being dependence on their boss for their weekly bread, employees now depend on organizations for their security and welfare. Employees working in a custodial environment become psychologically preoccupied with their economic rewards and benefits. As a result of their treatment, they are well maintained and contended. However, contentment does not necessarily produce strong motivation; it may produce only passive cooperation. The result tends to be those employees do not perform much more effectively than under the old autocratic approach.

Modules Of Organization. Supportive The supportive model depends on leadership instead of power or money. Through leadership, management provides a climate to help employees grow and accomplish in the interests of the organization the things of which they are capable. The leader assumes that workers are not by nature passive and resistant to organizational needs, but that they are made so by an inadequately supportive climate at work. They will take responsibility, develop a drive to contribute, and improve themselves if management will give them a chance. Management orientation, therefore, is to support the employees job performance rather than to simply support employee benefit payments as in the custodial approach. Since management supports employees in their work, the psychological result is a feeling of participation and task involvement in the organization. Employee may say we instead of they when referring to their organization. Employees are more strongly motivated than by earlier models because of their status and recognition needs are better met. Thus they have awakened drives for work.

Modules Of Organization. Collegial A useful extension of the supportive model is the collegial model. The term collegial relates to a body of people working together cooperatively. The collegial model depends on managements building a feeling of partnership with employees. The result is that employees feel needed and useful. They feel that managers are contributing also, so it is easy to accept and respect their roles in their organization. Managers are seen as joint contributors rather than as bosses. The managerial orientation is toward teamwork. Management is the coach that builds a better team The employees response to this situation is responsibility. For example employees produce quality work not because management tells them to do so or because the inspector will catch them if they do not, but because they feel inside themselves an obligation to provide others with high quality. They also feel an obligation to uphold quality standards that will bring credit to their jobs and company. The psychological result of the collegial approach for the employee is self-discipline. Feeling responsible, employees discipline themselves for performance on the team in the same way that the members of a football team discipline themselves to training standards and the rules of the game. In this kind of environment employees normally feel some degree of fulfillment, worthwhile contribution, and self-actualization, even though the amount may be modest in some situation. This self-actualization will lead to moderate enthusiasm in performance.

TYPES OF ORGANIZATION.

Types Of Organization. The classical bureaucratic module of Weber has been

subject to varying degrees of criticisms and disapproval in the recent decades. Nevertheless ;several of its assumptions are implemented in most organizations Civil ;Military or industrial. At the same time ;behavioural scientists and management theorists are searching for new models of organizations. Today these classical bureaucratic module is being rectified; changed ;modified and re defined . This is only termed as Types of Organization.

Organizations Based On Structure or Size

Every organization differs just not alone in function ;but also in structure. Structure or Size based industry is one of the most important typologies of Organization and this organization is often characterized by the following features People Oriented ( Just having one person will not form or create an industry rather they are formed by multiple persons) Number Oriented ( Just not one nos but multiple numbers) Very Limited Investment and High Investment Single or Multiple Business.

Organizations Based On Structure.

to three types. 1. Small Scale Organizations A small business, is a type of an organization that is privately owned and operated, with a small number of employees and relatively low volume of sales.

Organizations Based On Structure

2. Large Scale Organizations. Large Scale Organizations or Big Business refers to an organization that is quite huge and big in structure and as well in its sales 3.Medium Scale Organizations. These are the type of organizations that go hand in hand along with the small scale organizations and they are termed as Small Scale Organizations Or Small Scale Business or Small scale enterprise. Sometimes they are also called as micro enterprise.

Organizations Based on Ownership or Groups

Every Organization comes in-to existence only through the people. Untill and Unless the people come ;no organizations can be formed .The Second type of organization is all about the above concept and this is termed as Organizations Bases on Ownership. Organizations Based On Ownership have some traits and they are of 1. People or Person Oriented 2. Staff Or Expert Leadership 3. Legal or Judiciary Entity 4. Profit or Economic Motives 5. Social or Societial Motive

Organizations Based On Ownership or Groups. Organizations based on this type can be of 3 types.

Organizations Based On Operation or Locality

These are the type of organization based on area or locality.

Local ( blocks ;streets ;city) 2. Regional (cities ;state) 3. National( entire nation ;cities) 4. International( all over the globe) 5. Overseas( countries)

Organizations Based on Analysis Or Performance These type of organization can be divided into three types. Parsons Classification Or Performance Classification Hugos Classification Blows Classification
