Changing Superior-Subordinate Relationships.
- Authors
Mann, Floyd C.
- Abstract
This article studies the behavior of people in complex social organizations. It aims to discuss peoples' behavior by determining what organizational factors are associated with high motivation, productivity, and the opportunity for individual fulfillment, and by establishing definite casual relationships through the experimental manipulation of variables. The author attempts to determine the underlying principles applicable to the problems of organizing and managing human activity and studies how to change supervisor-subordinate relationships. The author further explores the concrete problems of creating social change in a complex, functioning organization and identifies the factors associated with the processes and determinants of social change.
