Putting It all
Together
The Five models of Organizational
Behavior are:
1.Autocratic Model
2.Custodial Model
3.Supportive Model
4.Collegial Model
5.System Model
1. Autocratic Model
is the model that depends upon strength, power, and
formal authority.

Autocratic Organization, the people

(management/owners) who manage the tasks in an
organization have formal authority for controlling the
employees have little control over the work function.
Their ideas and innovations are not literally welcomed, as
the key decisions are made at the top managerial level.

This model relies on POWER.

• The guiding principle of this model is that management/owners
have enormous business expertise, and the average employee
has relatively low level of skill and needs to be fully directed
and guided. This type of autocratic management system was
common in factories in the industrial revolution era.
• The autocratic model is also a detractor to job satisfaction and
employee morale. This is because employees do not feel
valued and part of the overall team. This leads to a low-level of
work performance. While the autocratic model might be
appropriate for some very automated factory situations, it has
become outdated for most modern –day organizations
 2. Custodial Model
Is based around the concept of providing economic
security for employees- through wages and other
benefits- that will create employee loyalty and
motivation.
In some countries, many professional companies provide
health benefits, corporate cars, financial packaging of
salary, and so on-these are incentives designed to attract
and retain quality staff.
The underlying theory for the organization is that they
will have a greater skilled workforce, more motivated
employees, and have competitive advantage through
employee knowledge and expertise.
• One of the downsides with the custodial model is that
also attracts and retains low performance staff as well.
Or perhaps even deliver a lower level of motivation
from some staff who feel that they are trapped in an
organization because the benefits are too good to
leave.

This model usually depends on

economic resources (money)
