Approaches to human relation

January 4th, 2009

An influential factor in stimulating the organization at all points is the emphasis on human relation. A consequence of this tendency is to spread responsibilities as widely as possible within the firm. This is evident In the following forms.
Bottom up. This is a design that permeates the entire management in order that all persons in it may contribute as fully as possible to the achievement of the goals of the organization. The essential quality of. bottom-up is the stimulation of a “feeling of personal freedom to think and plan boldly; to undertake new and untried ventures; to fight back if ideas and plans are attacked by superiors; to take calculated risks in which mistakes are accepted without punishment.”
The two-way flow system. This is a technique by which employees and managers effectively participate in policy making. The downward flow comprises authority to implement the policy. The upward flow, if uninhibited is a stream of questions, facts and opinions, that executives and workers of all. levels and stations along the line gain from actual experience in concluding the affairs of the business.
From workers, clerks and supervisors through department heads or top executives and vice versa, this two-way flow of ideas is essential if there is to be a common understanding of purpose and policy throughout an organization.
