PSYCHOSOCIOLOGY "human relations"
One of the most interesting and promising directions in contemporary sociological psychologism is the so-called theory of "human relations", traditionally understood as a set of sociologically oriented ideas, principles and methods of management in different (mostly commercial) organizations, aimed at improving morale and encouraging people to increase productivity.
Psychological sociology "human relations" has at least two features that are necessary for a proper understanding of it. First, the modern psychological sociology "human relations" is a diverse collection of various classical and neoclassical conceptual versions (developed by many sociologists United States and Western Europe). Because of this skill as its integral theory is conditional and is not so much substantive as traditional. And, secondly, the psychological sociology "human relations", being essentially a sociological doctrines of psychology, has yet a distinct interdisciplinary status and has borderline position between sociological psychological, management, industrial (industrial) and sociology and other areas, schools and the currents of modern Western sociology.
The most significant role in the creation and development of psychological sociology "human relations" played one of the founders of American industrial sociology professor at Harvard Business School's Elton Mayo (1880-1949), whose theoretical views and experimental results have gained the status of classics of sociology today.
The starting point and the main research findings E. Mayo was the assertion that a decisive impact on productivity and relationships in the workforce has predominantly psychological and social rather than material factors.
The apparent simplicity of these provisions was considerable research, partly relying on pre-existing representation and mainly to overcome them in terms of sociological psychology. |
