Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If organizations are to survive and achieve long-run viability, they must be effective. Yet organizational effectiveness evaluation has been limited by a variety of factors-especially the ambiguity surrounding the concept of organizational effectiveness itself. The long-established approaches used by organizational theorists to define organizational effectiveness have emphasized different perspectives with respect to the organization type and degrees of importance of the various constituency groups comprising the organization. Moreover, definitions of the organization and organizational effectiveness have focused primarily on the dissimilarities among organizations and their constituencies, conceding efforts to identify commonalities. This has led to increased fragmentation of the concept of organizational effectiveness and weakened its utility. Because of its central importance to both researchers and management practitioners, among many other organizational participants, the development of a practical tool that overcomes the deficiencies and challenges in current approaches to organizational effectiveness evaluation is of theoretical and practical value. This dissertation addresses the lack of satisfactory approaches for assessing organizational effectiveness and offers an alternative framework using an evaluation checklist. The Organizational Effectiveness Evaluation Checklist (OEC) outlines a comprehensive process for evaluating organizational effectiveness that specifically addresses the values issues with its inclusion of universal criteria of merit. Two separate investigations were conducted to empirically validate the OEC. The first investigation sought input from subject matter experts and targeted users regarding the merit of the OEC. The second applied the revised OEC in a real-world evaluation to assess the effectiveness of a for-profit organization. Both investigations were keyed to a common set of criteria to evaluate and improve the checklist. The original OEC performed well with respect to its pertinence to organizational effectiveness evaluation, clarity, fairness, and sound theory. The most significant structural change made to the OEC was intended to facilitate the efficient use of the checklist and increase its parsimony. Implications for organizations and the professional practice of evaluation are discussed, along with opportunities for future exploration.

This book was released on 1997-04-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Total quality management (TQM), reengineering, the workplace of the twenty-first centuryâ€"the 1990s have brought a sense of urgency to organizations to change or face stagnation and decline, according to Enhancing Organizational Performance. Organizations are adopting popular management techniques, some scientific, some faddish, often without introducing them properly or adequately measuring the outcome. Enhancing Organizational Performance reviews the most popular current approaches to organizational changeâ€"total quality management, reengineering, and downsizingâ€"in terms of how they affect organizations and people, how performance improvements can be measured, and what questions remain to be answered by researchers. The committee explores how theory, doctrine, accepted wisdom, and personal experience have all served as sources for organization design. Alternative organization structures such as teams, specialist networks, associations, and virtual organizations are examined. Enhancing Organizational Performance looks at the influence of the organization's norms, values, and beliefsâ€"its cultureâ€"on people and their performance, identifying cultural "levers" available to organization leaders. And what is leadership? The committee sorts through a wealth of research to identify behaviors and skills related to leadership effectiveness. The volume examines techniques for developing these skills and suggests new competencies that will become required with globalization and other trends. Mergers, networks, alliances, coalitionsâ€"organizations are increasingly turning to new intra- and inter-organizational structures. Enhancing Organizational Performance discusses how organizations cooperate to maximize outcomes. The committee explores the changing missions of the U.S. Army as a case study that has relevance to any organization. Noting that a musical greeting card contains more computing power than existed in the entire world before 1950, the committee addresses the impact of new technologies on performance. With examples, insights, and practical criteria, Enhancing Organizational Performance clarifies the nature of organizations and the prospects for performance improvement. This book will be important to corporate leaders, executives, and managers; faculty and students in organizational performance and the social sciences; business journalists; researchers; and interested individuals.
