AN APPLICATION OF THE PERFORMANCE-MAINTEN ANCE THEORY TO THE SIMON-HOMANS MODEL

Simon(1952) examined Homan's idea(1950) about the interaction in a soc ial group and proposed a mathematical model.In this study we tried to rewrite this Simon-Homans model to take into the results of PM leaders hip studies. This theory was considered qualitatively in our discussio n and it was tried mathematically to clarify the questions as follows: (1) Why is the productivity under PM leadership style including M beh avior, which doesn't directly connect with the productivity, greater t han that under P leadership style? (2) Why is M leadership style usual ly superior than P leadership style on the long term basis! When the t heoretical model about social behavior is discussed, it is at least ne cessary to show the existence of the stable solution of the model sati sfying the results of the field researches. We developed an argument t o answer these problems.
