Management theories
Motivational Management
Mayo helped to lay the foundation for the
human relations movement.
The workers are not just concerned with money
but could be better motivated by having their
social needs met while at work
He concluded that workers are best motivated
by:
o better
communication
between
managers and workers
o greater manager involvement in
employees working lives
o working in groups or teams
His theory most closely fits in with a
paternalistic style of management
Mayo recognized the inadequacies of Taylors
scientific management approach and underlined
the importance of relationships among people in
industrial organizations
Elton Mayo developed a matrix that demonstrates the
role of varying combinations of group norms and group
cohesiveness play in team effectiveness
