摘要:In this study an attempt has been made to review and examine systematically the underlying concept, various approaches and models proposed to understand the organisational effectiveness. A number of criteria have been given for the assessment and measurement of organisational effectiveness. It has been stated that different approaches to assess Organisational Effectiveness are products of different arbitrary models of organisations and effectiveness has been explained as a product of individual values and preferences. Therefore the best criteria for assessing effectiveness cannot be identified and singled out. The multiple models of organisation with their own espoused criteria of effectiveness need to be systematically compared and integrated with one another.
