The consideration of employee inputs, work processes, and outputs are at the heart of which category of organizational theories?

Systems
Humanistic
Bureaucratic
Relational

The correct answer is: Systems

Systems theories are focused on understanding how different components of an organization interact and influence each other. This includes looking at employee inputs, work processes, and outputs, as well as how these factors affect the organization as a whole. The other options may also have elements of considering employee inputs, work processes, and outputs, but these are not at the core of their respective theories. Humanistic theories focus on the individual and their personal development within the organization. Bureaucratic theories emphasize rules and procedures for efficiency and control. Relational theories prioritize building positive relationships among employees.
