MODELS OF ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR Part 2

4. The Collegial Model: The collegial model is an extension of supportive model. This model is based upon the partnership of employees and the management.

• In this model, the workers feel that they are the partners in the organisation. As a result, there exists a favourable climate in the organisation. The managers are not seen as bosses, but as joint contributors. Both the managers and the workers accept and respect each other.
• The collegial model improves the team spirit in the organisation. The workers accept responsibilities because they find it their obligation to do so, not because that they will be punished by the management. This develops a system of self-discipline in the organisation.
• In such an environment, the workers will have job satisfaction, job involvement and job commitment.

Some other models of organisational behaviour are:

• Normative Models: Normative models are mainly concerned with the determination of optimal actions. It seeks to find out what should be done to produce optimum results. Normative models are concerned mainly with what should be done or what should not be done by managers and employees.
• Empirical Models: While Normative models deal with what should be done, Empirical model deals with what the employees actually perform. Organisational behaviour according to this model, is concerned with what is actually taking place in the organisations and how do people actually behave.
• Ecological Models: Every business or organisation continuously interact with the environment. All the activities of the organisation are affected by the environment, as the environment supplies the inputs which are converted into outputs by the organisation. Ecological models are models which deals with the changes taking place in the environment and the complexities of the environment.
• Non-Ecological Models: This model is the opposite of Ecological model. Non ecological model assumes stability in the environment, and everything will remain the same in the environment. This model is not useful in the present scenario as environment is constantly changing.
• Ideographic Models: Ideographic models are developed to deal with specific cases or unique situations. This model deals with situations like single nation, single organisation, single group, individual etc. It is a micro level analysis of organisational behaviour.
• Nomothetic Models: Nomothetic models are developed to deal with general situations. It is a macro level analysis of organisational behaviour. These models deals with situations like cross country, cross organisation, cross group, cross individual analysis.

Since organisations are different from each other, we have to find the organisational behaviour model that best suit that particular organisation. The selection of model by a manager depends on the vision, philosophy, organisational culture etc. Environment factors also helps in determining which model will be effective for each organisation.
