3.4 Criticisms of the classical models

Whilst there are still areas where these classical theories are still
relevant, most modern theorists would argue that a more progressive
approach is needed where:

 it is recognised that there is not always a ‘best’ way of doing a
particular job

 managers realise that employees can have valuable insights into
a job and can make important suggestions for improvements, and

 many workers are motivated by factors other than financial
rewards.
