APPROACHES TO ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR;

There are mainly 4 approaches  to o.b, They are;

1.Human  resources approaches

2.Contingency approach

3.Productivity approach

4.Systems approach

 1.Human resources  approach:

 The human  resources approaches is concerned with the growth and development of people towards higher levels of competency, creativity on fullfilment , because people are the centrel resources in any organisation. This approach helps employes  become better, more responsible and then it tries to create a climate in which they may contribute to the limits of their improved abilites. This approach is also known as supportive approach Because the manager’s primary role changes from control of employees to active support of their growth and performance.

2.Contingency approach:

A contingency approach to organiztional  behaviour implies that different situations require different behavioural practies for effectiveness instead of the traditional approach of “one best way” for all situations. Each situation must be analyzed to determine the significant variables that exist in order to establish the kinds of practices that will be more effective. The strength of this approach is that it encourages analysis of each situation prior to action. Thus it helps to use in the most appropriate manner all the current knowledge about people in organization.

3.Productivity approach:

productivity is a ratio that compares units of output with units of input. It is often measured in terms of economic inputs and outputs. If more outputs can be produced from the same amount of inputs, productivity is improved. But beside economic outputs and inputs, human and social inputs and outputs are also important.

4.system approach:

A system consists of interrelated parts that interact with one another and function as a whole. Within the organization ‘people’employ ‘technology’ in performing the ‘takes’ that they are responsible for , while the ‘structure’ of the organization, if the organization as a whole is to function effectively.
