Introduction
For one to have a better insight of organization theory, the phenomenon should be studied in different approaches (Cooper & Burrell, 99). Various dimensions of thinking result in different theories and concepts. In this paper, multiple perspectives are examined, which entails: modernism, symbolic-interpretive, and post modernism. Also discussed in this essay is the impact and contribution of these perspectives on decision-making in an organizational culture.
Organizational social structure
An organizational social structure refers to social behaviour among members in organizations. To some extent, they constrain and enhance individual action yet they are the same outcomes. Weber organization was built on the principles of modernism. Just like Weber, modernists view organizations as stable and fixed entities that impact its structure to influence and analyze the efficiency of the organization. Weber discovered the systemic discourse of bureaucracy and founded a way to study it. The traits of his ideal organization entailed: hierarchy, integration of labour, qualification-based promotions, decision-making procedures, and documentation as a method of monitoring (Cooper & Burrell, 99).
Modernist approach
It was notable that Weber’s organization was very modernistic in principles. Weber, as a mentor modernist, saw organizations as fixed and stable entities that impact its structure to influence the systems’ efficiency.
Modernists see the developmental process of the world taking place in an independent manner apart from themselves regardless of their participation or absence in the process. Its objectives and parameters are factual-based, quantitative, and unbiased.
Modernist have a goal in theory development, the goal is aimed at establishing prescriptive universal laws as per the case of general systems. They are always
