management and organization theory for practicing managers
------- In the perspective of human resource managers in scientific and
research organization
1.Introduction
Through the study of mature management and organization theory, some tools
or acts can be borrowed by managers, especially human resource managers
for the improvement of their work. This dissertation mainly conduct research
on practical human resource managers to realize how to recognize and make
use of mature career interests theory and motivation theory. This paper
mainly concludes four parts:
Part one:Holland's theory of career interest。Investigative tendency: People
who have investigative tendency show strong interest in theoretical thinking
or mathematical statistics;Art tendency: People who have art tendency
show strong preference towards creative, imaginary and self-appearance
job;Social tendency: People who have social tendency are willing to do
jobs involving interpersonal communication;Social tendency: People who
have social tendency are willing to do jobs involving interpersonal communication;Conventional
tendency: People have conventional tendency are willing to do orderly
job with specific requirements;Enterprising tendency: People who have
enterprising tendency like formulating new work plan and setting new organization,
playing an active role in activities。For recruiting enterprises, the carrying
out of modern career interest test has played an important role in the
human resources management and development. People can not only be tested
on the whole, but the specific aspect can also be tested. Hence, the test
of career interest can not only be applied in the advancement, examination
and training of graduates and employees in the transfer of posts and job
selection. Career test should include both subjective and objective tests.
In traditional recruitments, the most often-used subjective test tools
include interview, examination on certificate and resume evaluation.
Part two:Holland's theory of career interest 。The theory of motivation
in management has been continuously perfecting itself in practice from
the original simple theories of X and Y to the two-factor theory of Herzberg,
which is also the changing process from simplicity to complication. In
the early times a stable and effective management model to motivate the
activeness of researchers can be built through the simple motivation systems.
However, with the increase in the number of researcher, the change in
the structure of research teams and the progress of the society, old motivation
model cannot be adapted to the need of scientific research.。Motivation
Measures in the research team building:First is the building of motivating
environments.;Second is the material motivation.;Third is the non-material
motivation.
Part three:Application of career interests theory and motivation theory
by human resource managers. It is quite necessary to conduct career interests
tests for people when they are choosing their careers. It can help people
determine his or her subjective inclination so that the most suitable
environment is likely to be offered and the individual could be likely
to put all his or her energy into the new environment and job. Career
interests are shown as peculiar personality inclination when people are
exploring certain vocation or are engaged in certain career activities.
Such interests render people give priority to certain jobs when in search
of jobs and make people yearn for that vocation. According to the objective
need of the producing process of research, traditional organization methods
should be adjusted to change the formation process of the plan.
Part four:Conclusions。 As researcher on human resource management, pure
understanding of Holland's career interests theory is far from enough.
What is important is how to apply the theory into actual work practice.
In particular, for people how to cultivate individual's interests by right
of interest theory or to bring into full play individual's ability still
needs further research.。The writer believes that in general the final
objective of the team consciousness or motivation mechanism is the formation
of team cultures.
