Schein's Theory Of Organisational Behaviour

Introduction:

Organisational behaviour (OB) is the study and understanding of individual and group behaviour and patterns of structure in order to help improve organisational performance and effectiveness). Whereas organisational development (OD) is the of successful organisational change and performance, and organisational effectiveness (OE) can be defined as the efficiency with which an association is able to meet its objectives. This means an organisation that produces a desired effect or an organisation that is productive without waste. Using theories such as McGregor’s theory of X and Y, as well as Herzberg’s motivators and hygiene theory, also Path Goal theory and Schein’s cultural model, I will attempt to analysis these theories to

According to Schein there are direct and indirect mechanisms within organizations, which are organizational culture model which is directly influenced by direct mechanisms. i.e. behaviour, opinions and status. Indirect mechanisms do not influence the organizational culture directly however they are determinative, i.e. the mission of a company, formal guidelines, and corporate identity. Schein divided organizational culture into three different levels: Artefacts and symbols, espoused values and assumptions, which in practice, the three levels of the organizational culture model are sometimes represented as an onion model as it is based on different layers. The outer layer is fairly easy to adapt and easy to change. The deeper the layer, the harder it becomes to adjust it. Deeply embedded in the core of the onion we find the assumptions. Around the core we find the values. The artefacts and symbols can be found in the outer layers of the onion and these can be changed more easily. Between this layer and the layer in which the values are embedded, there may be another layer in which we find the “overachievers” people who play or have played an important role in the organization and who are admired. The core of the onion is made up of assumptions These are about how the world works according to the all the people who belong to the organization and stem from experiences and perception. Conclusion:

Using the theories, I have attempted to analysis the leadership and motivation and make the link between leadership and motivation. In doing so I have explained the similarities of all theories above to give a better understanding of the processes and study towards the link between leadership and motivation is viewed and
