Styles of JBS Australia
A good manager did not always order people what to do but use different
style according to prevailed situation, so in case of JBS their success depends
on their style of management and how they treat their workforce or employees, because
to get the work done for to achieve their goals is very technical things in
this modern era of information technology. Workforce and knowledge worker nowadays
are well aware and educated they have more options to choose in the market and have
better alternatives available for them ,so in this situation where there are
tough competitions in the market no organization wants to lose their market
share along with their knowledge workers. (Purcell)
JBS Australia is large volume organization with positive goodwill .it practices
duel management style as democratic and Bureaucratic for labor and executive class.
Before making any decision the managers and supervisor of different production
and processing units of JBS exhibit participative or democratic attitude and consults
their team while maintaining overall control. They dedicate authority by
providing exact job descriptions (JDs) to team members. They keep monitoring
them that the process should be done according to the prescribed way because
they know that they itself have ultimate responsibility (Cox).
This democratic or participative management style has pros and cons as
well ,consulting with their team of experts and knowledge workers can help management
to identify problem early and at initial stages, so that the problems can rectify
early ,because time is money in modern business strategy and good, healthy,
errorless products gives an organization a competitive edge over its rivals and
better communication with our employees and team boost the morale of workforce
and motivate them to do better for organization to achieve their goals.
On the other hand, it’s maybe a time-consuming activity to consult much
with the team on every matter that could be resulted in a reduction in productivity,
so managers should keep a balance between these matters.
JBS management team and managers are well aware of these cons and sometimes
remain in or exhibit a bureaucratic state of mind to ensure that workforce must
follow the procedures and rules or regulation and must not take the democratic
or participative attitude of managers granted. This approach has made JBS
maintain its high-quality standards in their products and services. But too
much emphasis or exhibit of authoritative or bureaucratic management style
reduces the creativity of the workforce that resulted in staff turnover,
resentment and absenteeism and employees could board from their static way of
work. (JBS)
