The purpose of this study is to construct the concept of organizational effectiveess, and examince the organizational effectiveness models.
To begin with, we investigate many conceptual definitions of domestic and foreign scholars. Then we can reach a convergent concept of organizational effectiveness. Organizational effectiveness is defined as the comprehensive criterion on evaluation of the whole organization.
Next, we examine organizational effectiveness models, The System-Resource Model, The Goal Model. The Participant-Satisfaction Model and The Social-Function Model. Each model has contradictory factors, so we can deduce a model that comprehends each model's factors. That is The Contradiction Model.
There are four basic premises in this model.
First, organizations face multiple and conflictiong environmental constrains.
Second, organizations have multple and conflicting goals.
Third, organizations have multple and confliction external and internal constiuencies.
Fourth, all organizations have multple and conflicting time frames.
Conceptual and methodological contradictions in the analysis of effectiveness have been presents and a contradiction model was developedl The model contains key elements for the resource-acquisition and goal models and is an attemp to combine them in a manner which retains their key insighfs but adds the important factor of inherent contradiction.
Organizations effectiveess will remain as the major concern for organizational practitioners and analysts. Ignoring the contradictions will not advance knowledge or practice. It is only when theorists and practitioners realize the limited range of options open to organizations, as they confront constraints and mandates and attempt to move toward goal achievement and cope with the issues of multiple constituents and conflicting time frames, that both usable and theoretically interesting developments will take place.
