Chris Argyris Theory Of Personality And The Organization

Over the last 100 years, the underpinning concepts in the fields of psychology and counseling were wrought. Within this period, these concepts have transformed and evolved from somewhat crude conceptions of the psyche toward more holistic interventions and approaches. As the profession continues to move forward, adaptations of the original theorists regarding the nature of man and the development of personality continue to emerge. These adaptations, along with the integration of new concepts and ideas, continue to contribute to the field. The author describes his view of man and human nature, personality development, and explores potential implications for counseling.

Assessment 1 dealt with Managerial Assumptions. This assessment will give insight in my orientation toward Douglas McGregor’s Theory X and Y. ACCEL (2016), McGregor’s theories X and Y are based on social science research which has been carried out, and demonstrate the potential which is present in an individual that organizations should recognize in order to become more effective. McGregor sees these two theories as two quite separate attitudes. Theory Y is difficult to put into practice on the shop floor in large mass production operations, but it can be used initially in the managing of managers and professionals. In "The Human Side of Enterprise" McGregor shows how Theory Y affects the management of promotions and salaries and the development of effective managers. McGregor also sees Theory Y as conducive to participative problem solving (2016).

There are obviously many different factors that affect an organistions approach to talent planning. External factors such as the economic environment can have a massive effect in how an organisation resources and retains talent. For example, in times of high unemployment it is far easier to attract high levels of talent, as there are many unemployed suitable candidates in the job market. Similarly it is easier to retain staff as they are less likely to leave due tot the difficulty of finding new suitable employment.

In much the same sense, there is a very high cost to employers who have poor talent management practices that result in high employee turnover and a substandard talent pool.

Employers who adopt competitive compensation packages, innovative employee recognition programs and employee development initiatives can more effectively foster a positive work culture that is essential today to attract and retain “game changing” talent.

Having a functioning and efficient talent acquisition team is of vital importance to a firm. In a time where firms have to make quick decisions in order to remain relevant and profitable, availability of the right labor does not always keep up with the need. Not having a functioning talent acquisition strategy can be detrimental. It is essential that talent acquisition be accurate and timely as it “is the only function within HR that can destroy the business and HR” (Truitt, 2013). In order for the talent onboarding to be timely and successful, the search, vetting and hiring of talent will require appropriate acquisition actions. “The selection of tools, technology and outsourcing partners is a key element of a company’s talent acquisition strategy” (Erickson, 2012).
