Theory X managers are rational, they go by facts and figures..

Division of LBOURERS - Division of Labour

DOL and Division of Laborers

4. Divison of L A B O U R E R S

Division of LABORERS  is NOT the same as Division of Labor . Important to NOTE this.. 

What is the difference ? Who coined this  concept? Why this has come in ? Do you know the implications of this concept..? 

 As MBA student one need to know and differentiate these two concepts..

Division of laboRERS  refers to CASTE  based ( So called V A R N A ) system of allocation of work in a society..  It is based on DOGMA.. It is not scientific. 

 Finally, for GOD's sake ...  It does not  lead to  EXCELLENCE. 

It also refers to work being allocated  in a society among  Men and Women  based on STEREO types.. by Caste, Birth, Gender, Locality etc. 

It has serious implications when applied in a society.. 

Important features of Div. of LaboRERS is.. 

- Allocation of work and occupations are based on  birth and caste / group  they belong to...

 - There is NO scope for those people to ESCAPE from such a work  ... even if they want to.. Despite their UNWILLINGNESS they are forced to continue the same work.. 

There is little scope and understanding given for such labourers  to understand their misery and get out of such W O R S T careers....

-  Such people are "Not allowed "   to have access / approach to switchover to other. alternate work / activities.

- Certain people are denied an opportunity to be trained , to develop themselves  and demonstrate their competence in certain other  /  alternate works and occupations. Hence, historically ( even for generations  ! ) certain people have no access and entry in to certain types of work. 

- Further, such a practice is made in to a " Social Norm" saying that it will improve ( it is also considered as social requirement )  the social development. 

This is utter nonsense... some people argue, in the name of social development and well being. 

This practice goes against the individual dignity and freedom to choose and work in what ever the careers one want to pursue depending upon their competences.

Examples of Division of LabouRERS  are.. 

 - Scavanging, Sweepers, Maid servants etc.. 

On the other hand there are some people who take  ADVANTAGE  of this  practice " Div. of LBOURERS"   K I N Gs, Politicians, Film Actors, Musicians etc..  

They proclaim and behave that they are born for such and such careers .. even if they dont have needed  competencies.. It is unfortunate and damaging the society.. 

As per Organisaions and Management this Practice goes against POM philosophy and achieving excellence .

Division of LABOURERS DOES  NOT DEPEND on ..

- It is not based on  competencies,  aspirations, interests, democratic norms.....

-  but it is about NOT ALLOWING others for certain  OPPORTUNITIES , FATE and BIRTH , FEUDAL MIND SETS.. 

DOL  Vs. Division of Laborers.. 

DOL -  has origins in  Orgn. and Management - Unit of DOL is Tasks and Work Elements - Basis of allotment  is.. Weak Skill

  Who is the person who wrote and talked about the  concept - Div. of LABOURERS ..? 

 Research on NET..

 

  Managers are the people who understand the work and make is amenable for working . What they really do is ..  . .

 Good work Vs. Bad Work

Difficult work Vs. Easy Work 

Long Work Vs. Short Work 

Boring Work Vs. Interesting Work 

Skilled Work Vs. Unskilled Work 

Mountain of Work Vs.  Mole of  Work 

Dirty, Dangerous, Dull  -  Heavy, Henious, Hazardous work

Possible Vs. Impossible Work 

Job of manager is to transform the work  to b of higher efficiency, and effectiveness. 

" Division of Work "   is a tool which helps in transforming the given work in desired direction.
