SOIL WATER REGIME AND WATER CONSERVATION EFFICIENCY IN A NON-IRRIGATED SEMI-ARID ENVIRONMENT

Management systems of orgamzations play a significant role in employeesʹ level of motivation. The organizational climate resulting from a management system that is conducive to actualizing human potentials, would greatly enhance motivation level. Three decades ago Likert proposed a participative management organization which is applicable today if we desire to bring the management and leadership of our professional organizations up to date with that of an information-age organization. The purpose of this study was to determine the management system being practiced in Qom Jahad-e-Sazandegi Organization (QJSO) as measured by Likertʹs Profile of Organizational Characteristics and examine its relationship to the personnelsʹ motivation level. The result indicated that the QJSO is a benevolent authoritative (a system-2) organization where most of the decision making and goal setting are done at the top of the organization. The finding is consistent with Likert assertion that most organizations are in system-2 and would desire a system-4 (participative management). The staffsʹ level of motivation has been found to have a very strong and positive relationship with their perception of management system (r=0.72). This implied that as the respondents* perception of management system improved along a continuum from a system-1 toward a system-4, their level of motivation increased substantially.
