Dilbert's Guide to Success is a concise overview of six classic theories of management. This
guide was designed to provide insight into a variety of management practices in an accessible
and easy to understand format, with the addition of a little office humor, Dilbert -style. The
information contained will allow managers to broaden their knowledge of management skills
while still having time to think about something useful.
People can be extremely difficult to understand at times, which in turn can affect
productivity and efficiency in any organization. This section provides useful insight about
people in an effort to explain human effort as a major task of management. It provides
theories about human behavior that provide information about working with people and
understanding individuals to benefit the economics of an organization.

AUTHORITY AND CONTROL:
One of the most important skills to
have to be a successful manager is
the ability to predict and control
human behavior.
Sure, it is important to look at the
organization of a system when
managing a work force, but it is
crucial to know that changes in
politics, people, economy and
technology are happening all the
time. This changes how people react
to specific situations. It’s a
manager’s responsibility to control
this behavior. How do we do that?
We must look at authority of
knowledge!
AUTHORITY OF KNOWLEDGE:
This involves putting the manager’s
skill and knowledge at the employee’s
disposal. This can be affective but is
limited by the degree that managers
are relied on. The manager must be
able to enforce authority through
punishment, require high
interdependence, and minimize
rebellion. Striking a balance between
independence and dependence is
essential to build unity and validation
between subordinates and the
professional, while still adopting
different roles as situations call for
them.
Sometimes it is appropriate for the
manager to be the leader, other times
to sit back and let employees take
charge, or even as a helper or
consultant.
So we know that a manager needs to
find a balance between control and
authority. Because we make guesses
about human behavior, it may be
difficult to know what to do, especially
because every situation you deal with
may be different. Let’s check out a few
theories of human behavior to help
make sense of it all!

THEORY X: THE TRADITIONAL VIEW
OF THEORY AND CONTROL
This theory discusses different assumptions
about human motivation, including:
Theory X teaches control by using rewards,
incentives, promise and threats to get
subordinates to cooperate and make an effort on
the job. People are not motivated by such
controls, thus human nature is not explained or
understood by Theory X because of its focus on
consequences of managerial strategy.
1. Man is a wanting animal
2. Human needs are organized in a series of levels
3. A satisfied need is not a motivator of behavior
4. When physiological needs are reasonably
satisfied, needs at the next higher level begin to
dominate

THEORY Y: THE IMPLICATION OF INDIVIDUAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL GOALS
This theory examines human nature and, in turn, how that affects motivation:
Theory Y is dynamic and focuses on the ability for humans to learn, grow, and improve.
With this theory, there are no limitations on human behavior, and allows managers to pay attention to relationships with
subordinates. This means that the manager is more involved in the relationships with subordinates, and can directly influence the
outcome of specific situations by demonstrating a belief in the potential of each individual.
1. The expenditure of physical and mental effort in work is as natural
as play or rest
2. External control and the threat of punishment are not the only way
effort is produced.
3. Man will be self-motivated if committed to specific objectives
4. Commitment to objectives is a function of the rewards gained if
achieved
5. The average human learns to seek responsibility
6. The ability to be imaginative, creative, and original is widely
distributed in the population
7. In modern industrial life, intellectual potentialities are only partially
used

WELL...SO WHAT?
Why do these theories even matter? Well, although it is true that some theories rely
on assumption, managers must rely on these ideas in order to track improvement,
changes, and achievements in the workforce. People act in a way that is often
predictable, but we cannot control the actions or reactions of individuals… Making it
helpful to have a few theories lying around to help make sense of behavior! Reading
about these theories can help us learn that people work better when motivated by
things that are important to them, not when forced or persuaded. By challenging
individuals to be creative, inventive and involved in goal setting, they will be motivated
by the new found skills, knowledge, capacities and improvement.

Moving away from control tactics and toward a
relationship-based managerial strategy can be difficult!
It is important, however, that subordinates have
confidence in their managers in order to create an
environment that everyone wants to be in. What does
confidence as a superior accomplish?
1. The attitude of superiors affects what subordinates
feel they can accomplish
2. Superiors who demand respect while respecting others
develop and maintain subordinates’ confidence in the
superior
3. Demonstrated genuine concern boosts employee morale
and productivity
4. The need for competency ensures others believe
superior is capable in all situations
5. Exercises confidence in subordinates to cultivate
participation, unity and trust
In this section you will learn about how leadership, group processes, and
communication influence organizational performance. The ideas that are listed are
intended to improve the productivity of an organization. This section focuses mostly
on how to make group work effective.

PERFORMANCE:
Managers with the best
performance records are employee
-centered and not job-centered.
These managers focus on
employees by supporting them.
This can be done by taking an
interest in their employee’s work,
letting the employee get the job
done the way they want to, and
allowing the employees to help
make decisions. To be productive,
managers should train their
employees and then supervise in a
general capacity. They can do this
by making the objectives of what
they need to accomplish clear and
then let them do the job.
G ROU P P R O C E S S E S AND
O R G A N I Z A T I O N A L
PERFORMANCE:
A manager can improve the
productivity of his employees by
organizing them in groups. To be
effective, groups should make goals
and objectives that reflect the goals
of the company. They should have
high group loyalty; this increases
pride in their work and their
willingness to work together and help
each other. A supervisor should
include his groups in the decision
making and really listen to his
subordinate’s suggestions.
COMMUNICATION, INFLUENCE
A N D O R G A N I Z A T I O N A L
PERFORMANCE :
Communication is the most important
process of management. There is a
great need for upward communication
as well as downward communication.
Establishing trust with your
subordinates helps to improve
communication. Trust will help your
subordinates tell you their failures as
well as their successes. When
communication is effective,
productivity goes up.

THE NATURE OF HIGHLY
EFFECTIVE GROUPS
There are many qualities shared by highly effective groups.
These qualities include:
A supportive atmosphere
Members are eager and willing to help
They can accomplish the impossible
Stimulates creativity
Have good communication
The members feel secure
Group members have real and important differences
THE FUNCTION OF LEADERSHIP
GROUPS
Leadership is important in groups, leaders should help link the
group to the rest of the organization. Having good leadership
qualities will help them to do this. Leaders of a group should:
Strengthen the group
Help the group
Deal with problems as a group and not with individuals
Not make all of the decisions
Be enthusiastic about the goals of the group
Take full responsibility for the performance of the group
and see that the group works together to meet the goals
they have set
The Managerial Grid theory explains that different managerial styles lie on a
continuum of how important production is in the facility and how important people and
employees are to the facility. The range of these continuums is 1 to 9, with 1 being a
low priority and 9 being a high priority. The x-axis is the importance of production
and the y-axis is the importance of people. This section further describes the
managerial grid.

1,9 MANAGEMENT
1,9 production has a low priority for production, but a high priority for people. This
management style arranges conditions of work so that people can fit within the company
with comfort, ease, and security. Conflicts are smoothed over and avoided through
making exceptions for people. There is an emphasis on creativity within the company,
but the creativity is often not utilized and low. The goal of workers is to gain
acceptance.
The overall response to this theory is “people are more important than things.
Relationships are more important than time.”

1,1 MANAGEMENT
1,1 management has a low concern for production and a low concern for people. This
management style can be described as apathetic management. Little is expected of
managers and little is given in return. Managers give employees jobs and then leave
them to do their jobs without instruction or help. Decisions are not made, but
communicated from corporate headquarters to subordinates.
The overall theme of this theory is “I don’t care, it’s not my problem.”
5,5 MANAGEMENT
5,5 management has an intermediate concern for production and an intermediate
concern for people. Managers lead, motivate, and communicate. Conflicts are resolved
through compromise, and a “carrot and stick” approach is taken when mistakes happen.
Creativity is not encouraged and conformity to traditions that the company has is
encouraged.
The overall theme of this theory is “Make a mistake once, shame on me. Make a
mistake twice, shame on you.”

9,9 MANAGEMENT:
9,9 management has a high concern for production and a
high concern for people. The basic aim is to promote
conditions that integrate creativity, high productivity, and
high morale. 9,1 uses goals and objectives instead of quotas
and deadlines for production. When conflict arises, it’s
solved through discovering the best and the most effective
solution. Management establishes direction and then lets
the job be self-directed.
The overall theme of this theory is “Let’s find the best
solution to this problem so that we can solve the problem
together.”
9,1 MANAGEMENT:
9,1 management has a high concern for
production and a low concern for people. In
this management theory, there is a clear line
of authority, and communication follows that
line of authority. Procedures are established
and followed for every scenario. Quotas and
deadlines are used to increase productivity and
production outputs. When conflicts arise, they
are suppressed and not resolved.
The overall theme of this theory is “Work
hard and do not make mistakes.”
This section discussed the Contingency Model which highlights methods of effective leadership.
Leadership performance depends as much on situation as leadership style, and no single
leadership style will be ideal for every situation. Attempts at changing a leader’s personality are
unsuccessful. If personality and leadership style can’t change, to achieve optimal results the
situation will need to.

THE CONTINGENCY MODEL OF
LEADERSHIP EFFECTIVENESS:
The Contingency Model postulates that
group and organizational performance
are determined by the relationship
between leadership style and the
favorableness of the group-task
situation. Effectiveness will depend on
the degree to which the situation allows
the leader to exert influence.
Leadership style is classified by the
Contingency Model as relationship-
oriented, when satisfaction is gained
from prominence or interpersonal
relationships, or task-oriented, when
satisfaction is gained from completing
the task.
The favorableness of the group-task
situation is determined by the degree
of influence the leader is able to have
over the group. A highly favorable
situation is one in which the leader has
power, support, and a well-structured
task.
So...
Leadership Style
As it relates to
Situation Favorableness
Leads to
Performance Outcomes

FACTORS EFFECTING THE GROUP-TASK SITUATION:
A leader with a high position of power who is liked or accepted by his group and has a clear task to accomplish is in a very
favorable situation. Influence should be easily exerted and successful accomplishment of the task should be achieved. On the
opposite end of the spectrum, a leader will have a harder time exerting influence if he or she is in an unfavorable situation with
little legitimate power, minimal likeability, and a vague task to accomplish.
These three of aspects of favorableness - power of position, acceptance of leader, and degree of task structure - all play a role in
situational favorability, but not necessarily an equal one. Below is their typical rank in order of significance and potential effect:
1st - Acceptance and Liking of Leader - A leader who is trusted and accepted will have more influence on his group, even in a
position of less power.
2nd -Degree of Task Structure –Adequate structure will provide detailed instructions and potentially step-by-step methods,
thereby increasing reliability, quality control, and performance outcome.
3rd - Position of Power - A leader may have power, but if the group doesn’t accept this power or if there isn’t a clear plan of what
to do with the power given, effectiveness will suffer. Large differences in power may outweigh small differences in structure, but
this is the exception.

L E A D E R S H I P S T Y L E :
RELATIONSHIP-ORIENTATED:
A relationship-oriented leader achieves
satisfaction by achieving prominence,
acceptance, and through good
interpersonal relations. These needs
are gratified by interacting with
others.
Considerate, relationship-oriented
leaders perform best in situations
where they have moderate influence, as
seen in moderately favorable situations
SO...
Both leadership styles can be suc-
cessful, and both leaders will make
minor behavioral adjustments to-
ward the other end of the leader-
ship spectrum based on the group
situation.
Even still, there are group-task
situations when one leadership style
is significantly more effective than
the other. Research shows that
even with significant time, money,
and effort, attempts at changing a
leader’s personality are unsuccess-
ful. If personality and leadership
style can’t change, to achieve opti-
mal results the situation will need to.
LEADERSHIP STYLE: TASK-
ORIENTED:
A task -or iented leader ga i ns
satisfaction through achievement of an
assigned task. There is less concern
with outside recognition or good
interpersonal relations, and stronger
desire for intrinsic knowledge that he
or she has done a good job.
Task-oriented leaders perform best in
situations that are highly favorable or
highly unfavorable.

ORGANIZATIONAL ENGINEERING:
Leadership performance depends as much on situation as leadership style, and no single leadership style will be
ideal for every situation. A leader with poor performance in one situation may excel in another.
It is easier to change the group-task situation than it is for a leader to try to change his style. Entire
organizations can’t be changed to adapt to one person’s personality, but relevant changes can be made to adapt
the situation to the appropriate leadership style.
This can be done in three ways:
Change the Task Assignment - Some individuals can be assigned tasks, such as those in production, that are highly struc-
tured. Others can be given tasks that are more ambiguous and vague, such as committee work or policy development.
Change the Leader’s Position Power - A leader van be given higher rank and recognition, or can be assigned subordinates
with rank that is equal to or below that of the leader. Final decisions can rest with the leader, or be dependent on group
consensus. A leader can be given “expert power” by channeling all communication through him or her, information can be
shred concurrently with all group members.
Change the Leader-Member Group Relations - Put together groups with similar technical or cultural backgrounds, or compa-
rable attitudes. Or select group members with different backgrounds and widely varied attitudes. Groupings can also be
based on a history of conflict or compatibility.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER:
If an individual is aware of their
personal leadership style, they may
learn to seek out compatible group
situations where high performance
and success are likely to be
achieved. They may also learn to
avoid incompatible situations.
This awareness of compatible group
situations, in addition to recognition
of personal strengths and weakness
and ways to handle them, can help an
individual modify group situations to
match their leadership style.
This ability to diagnose the
leadership situation and style of
subordinates would al low
management to utilize the
concept of organizational
engineering to great advantage.
If a manager is trained to
diagnose leadership situations,
the proper leader could be
matched to a compatible group
situation, or the situation could
be modified to take best
advantage of the leader’s style.
SO…
Leaders will be more effective in one situation than another. Poor performance may equally due to a task
situation as it is the individual’s leadership style.
Knowledge of the Contingency Model of leadership and application of organizational effectiveness can increase
the favorability of group-task situations and utilize the full potential of an individual’s leadership style,
improving performance outcomes for the organization.
Managers often wonder what the best ways to motivate their employees. The manager must learn
factors that increase job satisfaction and work on improving those areas of the job. Learn this
process and apply it to the areas that need improvement. In this section, you will learn different
ways to motivate employees.

JOB SATISFACTION VS.
DISSATISFACTION:
Items that lead to job satisfaction are
different than the things that lead to
dissatisfaction. Note that the opposite
of job satisfaction is not job
dissatisfaction, but no job satisfaction.
This leads to motivators and hygiene
factors.
COMMON MISTAKES:
KITA
Managers are often found trying to
motivate their employees with a “kick in
the pants.” However, this action, whether
it be a threat or an incentive, does not
lead to motivation but to movement.
Myths
The following 9 items can be good things
but have been tried many times and never
lead to motivation. Don’t repeat the past
fails of other managers.
1. Reducing time spent at work
2. Spiraling wages
3. Fringe benefits
4. Human relations training
5. Sensitivity training
6. Communications
7. Two–way communication
8. Job participation
9. Employee counseling
These programs come and go and new ones
appear but like KITA, they are not
affective in creating long term motivation.
MOTIVATORS AND HYGIENE
Motivator factors are used to truly
encourage and promote growth. Hy-
giene factors are used to avoid dis-
satisfaction. Motivators cause satis-
faction and hygiene factors cause
unhappiness.
Motivators
Achievement
Recognition
Responsibility
Growth
Advancement
Hygiene
Company policy
Salary
Status
Security
Supervision
“It is only when he has his own generator
that we can talk about motivation… How
do you install a generator in an employee?”
New and old managers have constantly had problems motivating their employees. Knowing the correct way to mo-
tivate is a key thing to learn before success can be achieved.

ETERNAL TRIANGLE:
These three points in the job area important in increasing job
satisfaction and thus motivation. Remember to keep these
things balanced as you work to encourage your employees.
Industrial engineering
Proper structure will lead to
efficient operation.
Organizational theory
Proper organization will
lead to a more efficient
job structure.
Behavioral science
An appropriate attitude will
lead to efficient job and or-
ganization structure.

JOB ENLARGEMENT/
ENRICHMENT
Job enlargement is simply the
process of making a job
structurally bigger. This is done by
horizontal loading. Examples
include increasing amount of work,
adding tedious tasks, and removing
difficult tasks.
Job enrichment is the process of
effective use of employees.
Enrichment utilizes motivators to
enrich the work the employee is
performing. This is seen in vertical
loading.
STEPS TO JOB ENRICHMENT
The following are steps managers should take to implement the motivator principle
with their employees. Step 1 Select job to enrich
Step 2 Approach these jobs with conviction that they can be changed
Step 3 Brainstorm a list of changes that can enrich the job
Step 4 Rid the list of hygiene suggestions
Step 5 Screen the list for vague suggestions
Step 6 Rid the list of any horizontal loading suggestions
Step 7 Avoid direct participation by the employees whose jobs are to be enriched
Step 8 Set up a controlled experiment
Step 9 Be prepared for a decline in performance during the first weeks
Step 10 Expect first-line supervisors to experience anxiety from the
changes you make.

H e r z b e r g : O n e M o r e T i m e : H o w D o Y o u M o t i v a t e E m p l o y e e s
SUMMARY OF JOB ENRICHMENT
The job enrichment program is not a one-time event. Managers should do this process continuously with each job and again to fix
anything that could be done better.
There are a few reasons this should happen: the job changes must meet the skill level of the hired, those with more ability will be
able to demonstrate that for higher positions, and enrichment will happen again but not as often as hygiene.
“If you have someone on a job, use him, if you can’t use him on the job, get rid of him, either via
automation or by selecting someone with lesser ability. If you can’t use him and you can’t get rid of
him, you will have a motivation problem.”
Maslow defines successful, happy people as those who become self-actualized. Self-actualization
is the process of reaching one’s full potential in efficiency, creativity, judgment, communication
and knowledge. As a manager, he or she should strive towards self-actualization and look for
employees who aim to become self-actualized. This section further describes Maslow’s method of
self-actualization.

Page 29

THE HUMANISTIC APPROACH
The humanistic approach, developed by
Maslow, is extremely positive. The
approach avo ids extremes of
oversimplification. Simple analysis “by
finer and finer separating until we come
to irreducible” is the best way to
determine motive. Each individual action
should be studied individually. We must
keep in mind, however we are studying a
part of the whole personality.
Maslow stressed that each person has a
natural drive toward health, happiness,
and accomplishment. The ladder of
needs includes the following:
Physiological-food, air, shelter
Safety and Security
Love and belonging-to love and be
loved
Self Esteem-help us like ourselves
Self Actualization-developing
potential
Maslow believes that before someone
can make it to the next “stage” (i.e.
from safety and security to love and
belonging) he or she must first attain
the needs from the previous stage.
SO...
As a manager, you should look at bad or good actions on an individual scale. The
action is a representation of an individual action not a representative of the
person as a whole. Many people will stay in the lower stages of the ladder so you
cannot assume all people will exhibit self-actualized behavior. Maslow called this
psychological flavor or we recognize, like a stew, that although a person may have
flaws or different tastes in the stew, they are overall a generally good person.
Physiological
Safety and Security
Love and belonging
Self Esteem
Self-actualization

PERSONALITY
The behavior of a healthy person is less determined by
anxiety, fear, insecurity, guilt, shame. Instead, their
personality and actions will be guided by truth, logic, justice,
reality, fairness, fitness, beauty, and rightness. Personality
is differentiated through being content, happy, calm and
peaceful with one’s life. If a person’s values are set on the
current fads and fashions their personality will likely change
often. Stable values determine a more stable person.
SELF-ACTUALIZATION
Maslow describes a self-actualized person, or reaching the
highest rung in the later with the following characteristics:
1. They can accept things the way things really are.
They realize who they are and how their situations really appear.
Their coping behavior is always a means to a motivated end.
2. They are not afraid to get close to others.
Self-actualized people work on becoming closer with other people.
They ask questions with genuine interest of people with not desire
for anything in return.
3. They are efficient judges of situations.
They can read people easily or they can detect truths and
sincerity. They can solve problems more easily.
4. They are creative and appreciative.
Self-actualization is growth motivated rather than deficiency
motivated. People who reach the highest stage appreciate the
small, simple pleasures of life. They are proactive and take
initiative.
5. They march to a different drummer.
Expression is unconscious. Many people will try and change certain
attributes of themselves, however they will always wear off and
true character will be revealed. The self-actualized person is
unique and exceptional unconsciously.
6. They are willing to learn from anyone.
Maslow states that the “insecure human organism cannot accept
defeat gracefully. It must keep on trying again and again.” The
self-actualized person works on accepting faults and learning
from them.
“A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a
poet must write, if he is ultimately at peace with him-
self. What a man can be, he must be.”
