Administration, organizational environment and satisfaction at work: Philosophical, conceptual, and sociological foundations

Abstract

The present is a philosophical, sociologic, and conceptual journey of the notion of administration, and other concepts related to Industrial Psychology like organizational environment, and satisfaction in the workplace. It starts with the influence of the great philosophers like Socrates and Plato. Later, it continues with the effects of relevant events such as the Industrial Revolution on the development of new styles and management strategies. This research empathizes on Industrial and Organizational Psychology since late findings are identified with the search of structures, systems, and mechanisms oriented to guarantee the best performance of the organizations. One of the challenges of this psychology aims to create consensus in the work place. Likewise, the concept of organizational environment is discussed since it is directly related to organizational behavior, human resources management, industrial psychology, and human behavior in the organization.
