BEHAVIOR THEORY

The classical theories viewed the organizations from a mechanistic point of view.They placed emphasis on the design and performance of work an the process of the management.They had perform ace of work and the process of the management.They had either ignored or over-simplified the human factor. In contrast Behavioral theory(Behavior approach) evolved in recognition of the importance of human behavior in organization.The behavioral theory developed partly because managers found that following the ideas of classical theory did not achieve total efficiency and work place harmony.Its primary emphasis was on improving management through understanding the psychological makeup of people.If managers understand their people and adapt their organizations to them,organizational success will usually follow.
The behavior theory (approach) to management has two branches.The first branch is Human relations and second branch is Behavioral science theory.
