Dealing with human resistance is the toughest and the most challenging
task of a manager. Organization Behaviour guides managers on how to
cope with human resistance by adopting different techniques for timely
and smooth introduction of change.
There are two types of spans- narrow span control and wide span of
control. In a narrow span of control, there are a smaller number of
subordinates to be supervised by a senior. There are a large number
of subordinates being direct by a senior. It has been a debatable
issue as to how many subordinates should report to one senior.
Some modern theorists believe that span of control is dependent on a
few factors such as:
4. nature of work
People with internal locus of control believe that what all happens in
their life can be controlled by them and they are the masters of their
destiny. The people with external locus of control believe that
whatever happens to them is due to their destiny or luck.
2. Authoritarianism
Such people are fascinated by jobs and positions that demand high
status and great amount of authority. Authoritarian people give more
respect to their seniors who exercise more control over others.
3. Self-Esteem
4. Machiavellianism
Many people followed this strategy for satisfying their urge of getting
power by manipulating others. Such people are known as high mach
people.
(ii) Morality and ethics are for the weak- a powerful person should
be ready to cheat and mislead others for achieving his work.
Introverts can perform the task well that are analytical in nature and
require less interaction with others, such as that of a finance officer,
research analytical, quality controller etc.
The term ‘motivation’ has its origin in the Latin word “mover” which
means to “mover”. Motivation refers to the way a person is enthused
at work to intensify his/her desire and willingness to use and
channelize his/her energy for the achievement of organizational
objectives. These theories help to develop understanding about
motivation phenomenon. Motivation helps managers to introduce
changes smoothly without much resistance from people. If manager
can convince employees that proposed changes will bring additional
rewards to employees, they may readily accept the change.
