Abstract

This paper examines Mary Parker Follet’s Theory of Management and its effect on work behaviour of the organization.  The Scientific Theory was criticized for reducing human beings as machines.  This gave birth to the emergence of the Human Relations school of thought.  This human relations school of thought placed emphasis on getting things done through people who have other needs from economic needs.  Among the proponents of the human relations theory was Mary Parker Follet (1868-1933).  This paper examined the Mary Parker Follet’s Management Theory and its effect on Work Behaviour of the Organization.
