As a group, these theorists discovered that people worked for inner satisfaction
and not materialistic rewards, shifting the focus to the role of individuals in an
organization's performance.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCE APPROACH
1. Individual Behaviour
Individual behaviour is closely linked with the behaviour of the group to which he
belongs. The group dictates changes in his behaviour. Individuals observe those
work standards which are prescribed by the group.
2. Informal Leadership
Informal leadership, rather than formal authority of managers is more important
for setting and enforcing group standards of performance. A a leader, a manager
may be more effective and acceptable to subordinates, if he adopts the
democratic style of leadership.
3. Participation
If the subordinates are encouraged and allowed to participate in establishing
goals, there will be positive effect on their attitude towards work. If employees
are involved in planning, designing the jobs and decision-making, there will be
least resistance to changes effected in technology and work methods.
They should know that average man is not lazy by nature. But he is ambition.
Every man likes to work and prefers to assume responsibilities. MacGregor
maintains that employees favour self-direction and self-control. Behaviouralists
believe that in place of the concept of social man the concept of self-actualizing
man would be more appropriate to explain human motivations.
5. Informal Organization
Behaviouralists particularly Bernard, consider informer organization as an
essential part of the formal organization. Informer organization must always be
taken into account while determining managerial behaviour.
