firmoriented

Firmoriented is a term used in organizational behavior and management to describe a management style that focuses on the needs and goals of the organization or firm over those of individual employees. This approach emphasizes the collective interests of the company, such as profitability, market share, and long-term sustainability, over the personal aspirations or well-being of individual employees. Firmoriented management often prioritizes efficiency, productivity, and adherence to organizational policies and procedures. It can be contrasted with employee-oriented management, which prioritizes the needs and well-being of individual employees. The firmoriented approach is often associated with hierarchical structures and top-down decision-making, where the CEO or senior management holds significant influence. This style can be effective in environments where clear goals and objectives are established and maintained, but it may also lead to issues such as low employee morale, job dissatisfaction, and a lack of innovation if individual creativity and autonomy are not adequately valued.
