Answer 1

The three theories of human nature where we have the first ,pessimistic -where the workers work s little as possible and steal ideas given an opportunity Optimistic- Workers are generally satifactory and do not require monitoring. The third where the employee increases loyalty with strong capablity.Steven pinker has described these theories as, a blank state -christian theory and a Darwinian theory and the last is truimph in the end.Four theories of human nature characterize the strucutre of an Organization. Democaratic,modern,totalitarian or hermenutic.Concept of human nature is a set of beliefs,attitude of a person.Organizations today meet the challenges of employing people from diverse background and understanding of human nature is essential. Human nature models in an organization can influence the decision making roles.Democratic person will be able to take decisions, the modern man influences rational decisions, totalitarian influences on authoritative decision style,hermeneutical is highly interactive.The end goal is to increase productivity. If an organization had to employ, with motivtion from the managers ,even the pessimistic nature would perform.
