Organizational Approval and Organizational Approval Degree
Under the framework of Intelligenism, organizational approval refers to the Approval by organizational individuals of various elements within the organization, such as its systems, network structures, personnel arrangements, operational strategies, and reward-punishment mechanisms. The organizational approval degree is an evaluative metric introduced based on this definition to assess the overall acceptance of the organization by its members. To evaluate the organizational approval degree, each individual’s acceptance of the organization is assessed, and the average of all individuals’ acceptance constitutes the organizational approval degree. Both individual and organizational approval degrees are defined as values within the range (0, 1), where 0 indicates a complete lack of acceptance and 1 indicates full Approval of all considered organizational elements. However, given the variety of elements covered by organizational approval and the differing evaluation methods and criteria, I believe it is challenging to quantify the degree of organizational approval precisely. If monitoring and assessing the organizational approval degree is necessary, indirect methods such as surveys of organizational individuals or counting negative expressions in organizational forums may provide some insight. However, any study or evaluation is theoretically only a partial assessment, offering limited guidance for determining the degree of organizational approval.
Although precise measurement of organizational approval degree is infeasible in reality, it is still possible to infer that certain strategies can enhance it. For example, encouraging organizational individuals to discuss, vote on, and evaluate organizational systems and structures can drive optimization, gradually aligning these elements with the preferences of most individuals to achieve relatively higher organizational approval degrees.
