Organizational Theories

A combination of different organizational theories results in a top-notch organization.
The benefits that align with an organization combining different ideas is that the organization
manages to address issues by applying the best thinking and organizational tactics available.
Therefore, organizations should use multiple organizational theories should be used in
tandem in explaining organizational behavior.
Applying different organizational theories helps the company adopt new technologies,
reorganize its tactics and make necessary changes that develop internally and externally.
Consequently, diversification creates an emotional impact on employees. The use of various
organizational theories affirms that an organization has transformed by accepting changes
that come along. Additionally, a single organizational theory is said to be one-directional.
Hence, applying multiple theories enhances an adaptive and multidirectional organization
(Çelik, 2020). The organization is expected to adapt to the environment, which is ever-
changing, and the simplest way to work towards this is by the use of multiple organization
theories.
Besides, no single theory can explain all aspects of organizational behavior. The use
of different theories offers different insights into organizational behavior. For example, one
theory might focus on how organizations adapt to their environment, while another might
focus on how organizations create value for their stakeholders. Also, using multiple theories
can help you develop a more comprehensive understanding of organizational behavior. In
conjunction, using multiple theories helps to develop more creative solutions to
organizational problems.
Finally, an organization may use a systems theory to understand how different parts
interact and affect overall performance. The organization can also use a behavioral theory to
understand how individual behavior affects organizational performance. Using a combination

of theories, an organization builds a complete understanding of itself and identifies areas
where it can improve.
