Models Of Organizational Behavior

Introduction
By Mohammed Al Hajji.
In this page, we will be talking about the five organizational behavior models, and we
will give a brief explanation for each one. Also, we will show ou a video of a
comparison between autocratic , and sstems model. In the past ears, there were !
popular common models of organizational behavior, and several of them exist even toda.
In addition, some leader, and managers use some of these models in their organizations,
and departments and the are"
#) Autocratic Model
In this model we can find that this model relies on power. $or example, managers have
the abilit, authorit to control their emploees and the emploee%s performance in this
stage will be much lower than expected.
2) Custodial Model
&his model usuall depends on economic resources 'mone(. $or instance, managers can
simulate their emploees b offering them facilities, and benefits, but in this model the
emploee%s won%t work as a team ')ess sharing with others( because everone will
depend on hi s self to get more benefits than the others.
3) Supportive Model
&his model relies on leadership. $or example, managers support their emploees b
encouraging, and supporting them to perform a better *ob, get along with each other and
as well as developing their skills. &he +erformance results will be awakened drives.
4) Collegial Model
&his model means that emploees depend on each other cooperativel and work as a
team to do the task. ,verone will be having a normal enthusiasm self-discipline, and
responsible behavior towards their tasks.
5) System Model
&his model is based on trust, self-motivation, and the performance results will be more
than expected, because emploees will be committed to do their tasks as expected, and as
well as organizational goals.
After we explained the models in brief we would like to inform ou that the world
nowadas re.uires from us necessar steps before we decide the best model to have for
an each organization. One of the most important things to consider is that managers and
leaders should clearl understand the nature of their organizations before making an
decision. Also, the have to consider and look at the changing in the environment and of
course the emploee%s needs so that the can have the best model to use to get a better
result.
