ABSTRACT
The primary functions of any organization, whether religious, political or industrial, should be to implement the needs of man to enjoy a meaningful existence. Frederick Herzberg, Professor of Management questions whether current methods of organizing work in business and industry are appropriate for people's total needs and happiness. Fred Fiedler is Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Management at the University of Washington. Fiedler's studies of leadership have concentrated on workgroups rather than the organization of which the group is a part. Edward E. Lawler continuing interest in the psychological analysis of the part that pay and reward systems play in organizational effectiveness and organizational change led, in 1972, to his receiving a Distinguished Scientific Award from the American Compensation Association. The size of an organization affects the possibilities; small enterprises can use company-wide indices of performance, thus emphasizing the common endeavour.
