Hi,
Here are some hints of the theory. Please, can someone explain them to me? I shall be thankful to you.
Neo-Classical Theory
Softer version of classical theory.
Makes several challenges to classical theory.
Differentiated activities.
Some organizations allow workers to do many different activities.
People
People are interchangeable; positions aren't.
Cooperation toward a goal.
Not everyone in the organization shares the same goal.
Authority
Supervisors do not always direct subordinate performance.
Comparison to Classical Theory
More humanistic approach.
Uses psychological principles of behavior.
Scalar principle need not be so rigid.
Distinction between line and staff is often blurred.
Span of control size depends on many factors.
Regards,
Hopeful for a reply.
