Evolution Of Administrative Thought

EVOLUTION OF ADMINISTRATIVE THOUGHT

The human being by nature is a sociable being, from the caverns the human being has had to delegate and organize how the tasks were distributed, in order to maintain their civilizations over time in time. Already in ancient civilizations, administrative processes, task division and hierarchy were used. The Greeks were the most advanced civilization for their time, they created very advanced cities in architecture, art, resource management, they had a prosperous economy for their time.

The Industrial Revolution had an impact on many branches including the administrative, labor began to be considered as a resource, also at this time when work schedules began to be used.

 In 1900 Taylor proposed his administrative theory, which was the first effort to study work as a method or science. This seeks to focus work in a scientific way through optimization methods, such as greater management of the workers’ selection and training process;He also proposes a science for the measurement of personal work, proposed that productivity is shared responsibility between the administration and the worker. The premise of this theory is: the best form of organization is what allows you to measure individual effort.

Administrative theories

Classical Administration Theory: It is based on hierarchy, centralization, remuneration, subordination of individual interest in group, order, equity, initiative, team spirit and personal stability.

In this theory the worker is given greater importance, as a person unlike in the previous theory.

Bureaucratic theory: This theory was developed by Max Weber;This is based on sociological ideals in this theory there is a marked division of tasks to improve efficiency, an impersonal and formal environment is also maintained, in this system people achieve their positions by meritocracy, measuring their performance in the work area, we can highlightthat in this theory there is firm regulation, falling on the inflexible.

Human Relations Theory: In this theory the worker is seen as a sociable man, who has the need to group and feel good in his environment, in this current it is believed that the greatest incentive of the human being is social, seeking to encourageThe masses to achieve efficiency.

Behavior theory: This was developed by Abraham Maslow, this social and individual point of view is worked on, emphasizing the individual, the Maslow pyramid, a pyramid, which segments human needs, is used as support, to be able to meet thelinks that make up the pyramid a satisfied worker is achieved, which has an impact on productivity. This theory is based on psychology.

Neoclassical theory: This theory is born in response to classical theory, this. The workers are located in areas where they can give greater efficiency and feel comfortable. This theory is based on practical operation, doing the functional for company operation.

Systems theory: This theory is based on the idea that a company is constituted by several elements, so that to achieve greater efficiency it has to be achieved that each of these works efficiently and of independent manea of the others, that is;A work department must be able to function autonomously, so that the group works from the optimal company.

CONTINGENCY THEORY: This theory is based on the ideology that it cannot be provided as the conditions in which the company will be operated, therefore the company must adapt to the most convenient administration method, sinceKnow the internal or external factors affect the company. As such according to this current of thought there is no specific formula of how to manage, more if you need a rather expert management to be executed.
