The reason behind workmanagement in TUI group is that they have opted several kinds of management styles which aredifferent from each other but helps in managing work (Egan, 2013). Managerial styles: Human relationship approach: it is the style in which mangers focuses on the buildingrelationship with employees.

As it is based on tallorganizations structure so managers will circulate objective of firm to lower level thiswill give positive result to the organization. But this managerial style have more attention

to rules and regulations that can force people to follow rules and they forgot their originalintent. Thomas cook will get benefit of that because it follows tall structure and managershave good command over their workers. Contingency approach: It is the management style which concentrates on situations andaccording to the nature of condition managers change their behavior. If TUI group andThomas cook adopt this style then it would be better for the firm as managers will be baleto modify their roles as per the demand of situation. But on other hand it will not giveoptimistic results to organizations if managers do not have proper control over their staffmembers. Different kinds of managing styles are:-The Directive Style:This style is generally opted by the manger of the TUI groups in which they keep a clearobservation on to the work done by employee. They closely observe the work and then controlemployee regarding the same. The main focus done by manager is on the motivation anddiscipline come up by threat that every employee face. Such style is effective during the time ofcrisis or when deviations became risky.Where asThe Pacesetting Style: This style is generally adopted by the employee itself of TUI group. In which employeetake a charge to accomplish task by himself in much efficient manner.
