Organizational Theory & Behaviour Organizational Essay
The goal is approached through three distinct channels -- (1) a bottom up approach, focused on the individual administrator; (2) a top down approach focused on organizational culture, and (3) the approach to values from a functional and practical angle. The conclusions can easily be extrapolated to the totality of entities, public or private, to reveal how an incremental emphasis is being placed on culture, ideologies, reform and efficiency.
The third source to be analyzed is represented by Camilla Stivers' Gender Images in Public Administration: Legitimacy and the Administrative State (2002). With a slightly more specific agenda in mind, Stivers' book looks at the role of women in public institutions. Sadly enough, she finds that despite the growing number of public administration female students, their actual role and presence within public institutions remains reduced, due to a long lasting perception of public jobs as having a masculinity in nature. The final recommendation is for change in this aspect and for the introduction of more women. Efforts to achieve this desiderate should occur at the levels of organizational culture and ideology and should materialize in reforms.
All in all, even if these books are not extremely clear in stating that organizational culture, ideology, reform and efficiency are the pivotal components of business success today, they do all point in this direction. Otherwise put, it can be argued that these three classic works in organizational behavior represent a bridge between the past of economic and public entities and their future.
