Q. Which theory focuses on genetically predisposed Behaviours?
instinct theory
Q. What replaced the original theory of motivation?
Drive-reduction theory. The idea that a physiological need creates an aroused tension state (a drive) that motivates an organism to satisfy the need— drives the organism to reduce the need by eating or drinking. When the original instinct theory of motivation collapsed, it was replaced by drive-redcuton theory.
Q. Who is the father of scientific management theory?
Frederick Winslow Taylor
Q. Who among the management theorist has the best contribution?
Henri Fayol
Q. What is the main concern of Henri Fayol’s management theory?
Fayol incorporated some of Weber’s ideas in his theories. However, unlike Weber, Fayol was concerned with how workers were managed and how they contributed to the organization. He felt that successful organizations, and therefore successful management, were linked to satisfied and motivated employees.
Q. What is contingency approach to decision-making?
The model is founded in the so-called contingency approach in organization theory, which states that organizational performance is related to or `contingent upon’ a proper fit between the decision-making style and the organization and its environment.
