From the Paper:

"Keeping in mind the structural perspectives of the Scientific Management, Classical and Bureaucratic schools of organizational theory are each designed on the positivist thinking, whereby organizations and individuals are viewed according to a specific prototype. The reaction to such thinking, from a behaviorally orientated perspective, focusing on the human presence within organizations, came to be a crucial factor in the field of organizational theory.
Most notable among these schools of thought are the "Human Relations" school and the "Leadership" school. The former was best known for the Hawthorne Effect and the latter came to be best known for leadership thinking in terms of Theory X and Theory Y. With so many schools focusing on the individual in both the area of Human Relations and Leadership skills, it was obvious that the new area of concentration would primarily be focusing on organizational functions and this is exactly where the theorists diverted their attention to drastically over the years, primarily since, it served as a social response to greater stress on the values of individuality. This change served to throw light on the paradigm of organizational theories, which had previously failed to highlight the importance of individuals within an organization."
