MAIN BODY
Theme 1: “Significance of Classical and Human relationship theory”
As per the view of Shafritz, Ott and Jang, (2015), classical management theory looks at
creating the situation in the organization where employee used to work at a multiple level with
the sole motive of increasing the productivity in the organization. In which employee at the
lowest level find their work supervise by the senior employee in the organization. At every level
in the organization all the employee are having the specific task that they have to follow with a
specific procedure design to maximise productivity in the organization. Classical management
theory does not allow the friendliness and personal interaction to become involved in the
organization as they generally used to follow rules exactly and the hiring and firing of employee
must relate to the skill they possess. On the contrasting endBratton and Gold, (2017) explains
that Human relationship theory used to look at the behaviour of the employee in the organization
and focuses more on the individual at a workplace as compare to the rules and procedure at
organization. Human relation theory used to fix a set of the communication in between employee
and manager in the organization, allowing them to interact with one another to make the decision
in the organization. Generally worker in the organization used to are exposed to the different
motivational and the emotional theory to build a bond which helps them in increasing the
productivity of the organization. The focus of this style is creating fulfilled, productive workers
and helping workers invest in a company.
