The classical theorists looked at the organization from a production perspective , the behavioral advocates viewed it from the individual’s viewpoint . the classical approach

13. The behavioral approach to management highlighted individual behavior & group processes , and acknowledged the importance of behavioral processes at work. 

14. Behavioral Approach to Management The behavioral approach has been divided into two branches: 1- the Human relations approach 2- the behavioral science approach.

15. 1- The Human relations approach The term human relations means the way in which managers connect to subordinates. In the human relations approach managers should know why their subordinates behave as they do and what psychological and social factors have an impact on them .

16. Supporters of this approach make an effort to show how the process and functions of management are influenced by differences in individual behavior and the influence of groups in the office. M anagers must be competent in human relations skills along with technical skills.

17. 2- The behavioral science approach. The Behavioral Science Approach is actually an extension of the Human Relations Approach . It gave value to attitudes, behavior and performance of people and groups within the organisations .

18. The advocates of the behavioral science approach consider that humans are much more complex than the economic man description of the classical approach and the social man description of the human relations approach.

Insights evolving from that understanding have been used to design work situations that encourage increased productivity . It has enabled organisations to formulate programmes to more efficiently train workers and managers , and it has effects in numerous other areas of practical significance.
