State and explain types of management styles.

1. Normative: Organizational involvement of individuals is attributable to a strong sense of
moral obligation. Any challenge to authority is unthinkable; there is a strong emphasis on
commitment and suppression of view opposed to managerial orthodoxy.

2. Disorganized: this is where Collective consent prevails for lack of collective focus for a
challenge, there may be discontent but consent is maintained through lack of employee
organization to articulate and endorse dissatisfaction.

3. Organized: Employees consent to obey instructions as long as grievances are dealt with.

4. Consultative: Employees are asked for opinions, about management proposals before
decisions are made, even though the right to decide remains with the management.

5. Negotiated: both parties have power to commit and withhold agreement, so that decision
can be reached by some form of mutual accommodation.

6. Participative: Employees representatives reach the stage of participating in the general
management of the business in which they are employed. Representatives take part in
making the decisions on major strategic issues such as expenditure in research, opening
new plants, introduction of new products etc,

7. Controlling: If the employees acquire control of the organization as in a workers’
cooperative, the consent is a controlling type.
