CLARIFICATION OF THE BASIC
CONCEPTS
Management
The term, management, may be adopted to refer
to four major phenomena. These are
management, as a discipline, management as an
entity and management as playing a leadership
role in an organization, Azelama (2012).
Non-technical sense
Management as a discipline
Management as an entity
Management as a process refers to a process,
POSDCORB
Administration: as a term may be adopted to refer to four
major phenomena. These are a discipline, a regime, e.g.
Buhari Administration, a categoric group of job holders and
as the functions of the executive, as explained under
management above.
Management and administration can be compared as
explained above. It shows that the two concepts mean the
same as discipline, a categoric group of employee and
functions of the executives. The two areas they cannot be used
interchangeably are the non-technical usage as management
and administration as a regime.
Leadership occurs, according to Bass (1990) when a member
of a group modifies the motivation and competence of its other
members. Schriesheim, Tolliver 2 Behling, (1978) saw
leadership as a social influence where a person (the leader)
seeks the voluntary participation of subordinates for efficient
attainment of the goals of the organisation
These definitions show that:
1. a leader, unlike a ruler, adopts authority or legitimacy and not coercion
to attract obedience;
2. every manager or administrator is a leader;
3. a manager plays a formal role, occupies a formal position and operates in
line with the dos and don’ts of the position in the organisation; and
4. leadership role can also be played outside a formal organisation
Principles of Management
Different writers have put forward various principles of management based
on different factors. We select a few for discussion in this lecture. The
selection is based on four major experiences in learning management
principles. These are:
management/Leadership Philosophy;
classical design/organisation theories;
the social approach to organizations; and
the behavioural or scientific approach
Leadership/rulership thoughts
Under classical organisaiton there are the works of bureaucratic
organisation by Max Weber, scientific management by Frederick Taylor
and Principles of administration by Henri Fayol.
The principles under the Weberian bureaucratic organisation are:
formalism;
written rules;
hierarchy;
division of work; and
Employment and advancement based on merit and career employment
A study of these paradigms and principles of management and leadership
in them are intended to raise the level of productivity and satisfaction of
leaders and the lead and managers and subordinate.
In scientific management by Federick Taylor we have:
Develop a science for each element of man’s work.
Scientifically selected train the workman.
Heartily co-operate with the men
There is almost an equal division of work and responsibility between
management and the workmen.
