26. MODELS OF ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR
There are four major models or frameworks that
organizations operate out of:
•Autocratic
•Custodial
•Supportive
•Collegial
• Although there are four separate models, almost no
organization operates exclusively in one.
• There will usually be a predominate one, with one or more
.
areas over-lapping in the other models
26
27. SUMMATION:
• The first model, autocratic, has its roots in the industrial
revolution.
• The managers of this type of organization operate out of
McGregor's Theory X.
• The next three models begin to build on McGregor's Theory Y.
• They have each evolved over a period of time and there is no
one "best" model.
• The collegial model should not be thought as the last or best
model, but the beginning of a new model or paradigm.
