There is a direct relationship between sociology and business. Sociology studies human beings in a society and how they interact which is the same information used in business to decide what to produce.

Answer 3

The relationship between psychology and management today is clear.

The family being broken in the US and many countries with divorce (50% or more), causes all sorts of psychological issues for dealing with employees.

I call it "baby sitting" all day and people finding "holes in the system". You have to know these "holes" and plug them early with contracts employee manuals and never being their close friends. It never works to be a close friend to an employee. Keep your authoritative distance and find your friends elsewhere.

Emotional issues are rising according to Gerald Crabtree of Stanford University. Controlling emotions is difficult today and very costly for companies and management.

In order to make money you must put the employees on productivity observation.

Make simple and clear, easy to understand, rules about time and space in the work environment. People who are raised in a family with no family structure NEED structure and LOVE structure even though it is foreign to them and they will fight it at first.

Structure creates security, reduces fear and makes them feel comfortable. Structure means rules they must follow times they need to follow and rewards for doing such.

A program of rewards for following a structured company is the best to "reprogram" the chaos and fear caused by chaos and unstructured chaotic childhood home life. (50% of adults in the US have been on or are on drugs for depression. Fear and insecurity is the cause of depression. It is not a natural condition in a harmonious home with mom and dad in structured harmony. )

Get a copy of "Transactional Analysis" book on how people respond to your discussions/relationship with them. The Parent - Parent is non-productive. The Parent-Child is sort of productive but yields a lot of your time wasted playing parent and the same games the "person" had with mom or dad. (I hate dealing with the projecting of parents on me. I will force them into an adult - adult logical relationship if possible or make them miserable and want to quit.)

The Adult - Adult is the best but very hard to find all the time. Adult adult is : "Joe, this part must be made by 4 PM so that Bob can install it." is adult - adult type of understanding. Not "Joe can you please help me today to make this part." Is an emotional statement of weakness and has no value.

Adult - Child is not so good either.

The Child - Child (playing and joking with you as "one of the guys (children)" should never be allowed in the work environment, except at parties with employee-employee only, and you as a manager never drop to that level or you will never get your authority back.
