Published “The Principles of Scientific Management” in 1911. Universal Principles Management Four Principles: ○ Replaced rule of thumb work methods with scientific study of tasks. ○ Scientifically select, train, teach and develop the employee vs. the employee choosing their own work and training methods; ○ Provide detailed instructions, supervision of performance, and cooperation with employees to ensure methods are followed; ○ Equal distribution of work between management and labor where management assumes the role of planning using scientific methods. RULE OF THUMB IN SCIENTIFIC MANAGEMENT Rule of thumb - refers to the decisions taken by the manager based on his personal judgments. Taylor suggested that managers should not take any decisions based on the rule of thumb rather follow scientific management principles for taking such decisions. The definition of a rule thumb is a generally accepted guideline, policy or method of doing something based on practice rather than facts. Example of a rule of thumb is general guideline that you don’t hear right after Labor Day. Taylor’s Scientific Management NURSING LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT 1ST SEMESTER / PRELIM / 4TH YEAR The 5 Early Theories of Leadership Early leadership theories focused on what qualities distinguished between leaders and followers, while subsequent theories looked at other variables such as situational factors and skill levels. Key leadership Theories 1. Great Man Theory 2. Trait Theory 3. Contingency Theory 4. Situational Theory 5. Behavioral Theory Great Man Theory Leaders are born, not made. This approach emphasized that a person is born BUREAUCRACY with or without the necessary traits of leaderships. Early explanations of leadership studied the “traits” of great leaders. “Great man” theories (Gandhi, Lincoln, Napoleon) Belief that people were born with these traits and only the great people possessed them. NOTE The great man theory of leadership states that some people are born with the necessary attributes that set them apart from others and that these traits are responsible for their assuming positions of power and authority. A leader is a hero who accomplishes goals against all odds for his followers. Trait Theories (1920s - 1930s) Research focused on identifying personal characteristics that differentiated leaders from non-leaders was unsuccessful. Later research on the leadership process identified seven traits associated with successful leadership: ○ Drive ○ The desire to lead ○ Honesty and integrity ○ Self-confidence ○ Intelligence ○ Job-relevant knowledge ○ Extroversion NURSING LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT 1ST SEMESTER / PRELIM / 4TH YEAR Trait theory in psychology rests on the idea that directly related to observing others within the people differ from one another based on the context of social interactions, experiences, and strength and intensity of basic trait dimensions. outside media influences. Three Criteria that characterize Personality Traits: Transtheoretical model posits (assumes as facts) the health behavior change involves progress 1. Consistency through six stages of change: 2. Stability ○ Pre-contemplation 3. Individual differences ○ Contemplation ○ Preparation Contingency Theory ○ Action ○ Maintenance ○ Termination Fred Fiedler's Contingency Theory states that, for a leader to be effective, their leadership style must fit the situation. Using this model, you'll identify your own leadership style, assess the situation that requires leadership, and determine whether you're the right leader. The contingency theory of leadership supposes that a leader’s effectiveness is contingent on whether or not their leadership style suits a particular situation. According to this theory, an individual can be an effective leader in one circumstance and an ineffective leader in another one. The Health Belief Model is a theoretical model that can be used to guide health promotion and disease prevention programs. It is used to explain and predict individual Behavioral Theory changes in health behaviors. It is one of the most widely used models for understanding health behaviors. Behaviorism focuses on the idea that all behaviors are learned through interaction with the environment. This learning theory states that behaviors are learned from the environment, and says that innate or inherited factors have very little influence on behavior. 3 Behavioral Theories The most often used theories of health behavior are: 1. Social Cognitive Theory 2. The Transtheoretical Model / Stage of Change 3. Health Belief Model, and the Theory of Planned Behavior. Behavioral theories believe that: Behaviorism emphasizes the role of environmental factors in influencing behavior, to the near exclusion of innate or inherited factors. This amounts essentially to a focus on learning. We learn new behavior through classical or operant conditioning (collectively known as “learning theory”) Social cognitive theory, used in psychology, education, and communication, holds that portions of an individual’s knowledge acquisition can be NURSING LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT 1ST SEMESTER / PRELIM / 4TH YEAR Management Process Roles of that managers fulfill in an organization
