Organization As A Social System

ORGANIZATION AS A SOCIAL SYSTEM The science of organizational behavior is a case study of how individuals think, feel and do things in organizations. This includes matters of behavior, decisions, perceptions and emotional responses. Individual and team. It also includes how parties within (internal) the organization relate to each other and also with parties outside (external). This is related to the processes, mechanisms and results of interactions between parties and is also a topic of discussion in organizational behavior, such as communication, coordination within teams, working together with each other. Based on the definition of organization explained by James L. Gibson, et al (1985) in his book Timothy Duha, entitled Organizational Behavior, an organization is a unit that allows society to achieve a goal that cannot be achieved by individuals individually. This is why in this second discussion we call organizations social systems. Based on the definition of an organization in general, it is a group of people who have the same goal to achieve. Which means that in an organization each person must have a different character, some have a submissive character, some have a character who always wants to be listened to. To fulfill every desire and need, humans definitely need various kinds of tools. However, even though they have the most sophisticated tools, an individual still needs other people to achieve each goal. This is where humans realize that human individualism still has limitations. Basically, humans are individualistic creatures who always want to prioritize their own interests. However, when individuals meet other individuals and are willing to help each other and create cooperation between the two, these individuals must be able to suppress each other's egos to fulfill each other's needs. As mentioned in the discussion above, even in organizations, individuals want to satisfy their needs. Each individual has needs that must be met by the organization in their role. This is illustrated by Getzel and Guba in their approach to social system models. The balance between humans and organizations needs to be maintained in the form of a status quo or permanent status. As stated in the Getzel-Guba Model scheme below: GETZELS-GUBA MODEL Jacob W. Getzels Egon G. Guba Getzels and Guba conducted a study that analyzed leader behavior in social systems. They put forward two categories of behavior. The first is normative style leadership behavior with a nomothetic dimension which includes efforts to meet organizational demands. This dimension refers to the institution which is characterized by certain roles and expectations in accordance with the organization's goals. The second is personal style leadership behavior which is called the idiographic dimension, namely the leader prioritizes the needs and expectations of members of his organization. This second dimension refers to individuals in the organization, each with a particular personality and need disposition. The first dimension is also called the sociological dimension, while the second dimension is called the psychological dimension. Schools as a social system can be imagined as having these two dimensions, which can be considered independent, but in actual situations influence each other. Because humans are social creatures, they need each other. Likewise in organizations, organizations are social systems because in organizations there are several people who have goals and work together to achieve these goals. Organizations can create an atmosphere of interconnectedness and interconnectedness with each other, which is why organizations are also called social systems. In Getzels and Guba's model, the balance between individuals, groups and organizations must be balanced so that relationships in meeting one's life needs can be achieved collaboratively. Because of the existence of a social system in an organization, organizational behavior is created which makes the organization have social relationships.
