A Normative Approach to Organization and Theory - Dr. James E. Pittman
 
 
Organization theory focuses on formal and informal structures, internal dynamics, and surrounding social environments of complex human organizations.  Organization theory spans several academic disciplines (i.e business administration, economics, political science, psychology, statistics, sociology, as well as public administration), and the discipline emphasizes, at different times, the need of management, the need and motivations of workers, and the relationships between organizations and their environments.

This textbook, A Normative Approach To Organization Theory and Practice For Public Organizations in the 21st Century, provides a conceptual framework and fundamental challenge for leaders and members of organizations, that of integrating and coordinating the components and domains of the organization.  It includes the organization's environment, its strategy and decision-making processes, its goals and values, its culture, its structure, its authority and power relationships, its communication processes, why organizations organize or re-organize, and of course its people---the organization's leaders, teams, and groups, and their motivation, work attitudes, and behaviors.
