> An organizational structure is designed to bring about order in
the accomplishment of the various tasks aimed at achieving
organizational objectives. In this regard, certain organizational
principles have to be complied with, while the organizational
structure has to be tailored to its environment and operational
needs.
Power - The capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the
course of events.
Interdependence of parts - are not dependent on each other directly, they are
instead, interrelated through enabling the emergence of some overall combined
organization.
ORGANIZATIONAL
STRUCTURES:
Division of Work - The department head organizes the work by dividing it into
levels and functions and then assigning people and resources to the jobs that have to
be accomplished. The division into levels, such as head of the department,
supervisors and employees is referred to as the scalar process because it provides a
scale or grading of duties according to levels of authority and responsibility.
Linking Pins - An intricate network of relationships that links people together into
a working organization is brought about when the scalar process, functionalization,
and delegation are performed correctly. A structure needs to hold together the
numerous part of an organization so that they can operate as an integrated team
working toward common goals.
