  • Organization Size, Effectiveness, and Human Values

    Open AccessLeonard R SaylesARTICLEAdministration & Society1987Cited by: 1

    A number of recent studies suggest that large private bureaucracies have not been the highly efficient mechanisms for producing goods and services presumed by the profit motive in industry. A number of reasons for the inherent inefficiencies of large systems are contrasted with the advantages of small size. Smallness has a number of advantages for the simultaneous achievement of human values at work and productivity

    Leonard R SaylesARTICLEHuman Organization1962Cited by: 1

    Unfortunately, the subject of change in organizations (or of community or culture) is typically dealt with as a distinct, separate process, apart from the normal functioning of the system. Change is apparently viewed as something that is imposed on an unwilling, unresponsive audience or consumer. The problem of change, therefore, is usually one of gaining consent or acceptance through cajoling, force, participation, spotting the most likely sourc…

    In the October 1952 issue of the Review, the authors of this article discussed the factors influencing membership participation in the local union.

  • Occupation and the Selection of Local Union Officers

    George Strau, George Strauss et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Sociology1953Cited by: 1

    Elected local union officers, in general, are higher paid and more skilled than the rank-and-file workers they represent. High seniority and being in a position to communicate with other workers favor selection to union office, but exceptions occur when the plant has been recently organized or when there has been a sharp turnover in officers

    A decade ago, the machine polishers played an important role in organizing the Lakeshore mill of the Eastern Manufacturing Company for the C.I.O. This small department, comprising less than three percent of the bargaining unit, succeeded in electing the local president and three executive board members from their own group. Today they have slipped into relative passivity. In fact no polisher has attended sufficient local meetings this past year t…
