Sociology, Organization and Managing the Organization

Božo Jušić ; The Institut of Economics, Zagreb

Abstract

Organization and management occur as a subject of sociology especially for their inhibition by the social environment and by significance of the social content of organization and management for the shaping of an organization. Such dependence is present in analogy of ontogenesis and filogenesis of the organizational theory and theory of management, and even in history as a whole. Therefore, the opposed sociological theories and theories of organization and management appear as simplified analog images of the world, reflecting their social content with varying intensities. The area of theory of organization and management, open to sociology, widens in the phase of socially oriented approaches to organizational streams and management, and narrows in the phase of overcoming the theories concentrated on rationality of the structure of organization. Starting from the important mutual dependence of the model of an organization upon the model of its environment, sociology of organization and management points to untenability of an optimal model of organization as well as untenability of an unchangeable model of qualities of an successful manager. It also points to mutual relationships of the manager, the performer and their variable chance in distribution of power. In the field of sociology, problems of antipodes of »formal« and »informal« organization as well as the change of the common procedure of hierarhization are being solved by networking the organization on the basis of needs of primary groups channels of communication of their management.
