Summary

Organizational structure is a formal system of task and reporting relationships that coordinates the activities of employees so that they can work together to achieve organizational goals. Organizational design is the process by which managers make specific organizing choices that result in a particular kind of structure for the company. Organizational design involves numerous activities that include designing jobs, departmentalizing decisions, completing the company’s structure, and outlining the best structural configuration.

Job design is the process of assigning tasks to jobs. It begins with job analysis, which results in the assignment of individual tasks to specific jobs. Then, a job description outlining the tasks and duties can be created. Finally, a job specification identifies the eligibility requirements or qualifications needed to perform a job. Departmentalization is an organizational tool that involves placing various jobs into different departments or divisions. The primary forms of departmentalization include those by function, product, customer, geographic region, or strategic business unit, as well as by the matrix approach. Managers select the form of departmentalization that best matches each company’s unique operating needs.

An organization’s structure is complete when lines of authority and responsibility have been identified. Authority consists of the right to direct activities and permission to act or make decisions. Responsibility is the obligation to complete tasks as assigned by reporting to a specific supervisor. Parity of authority and responsibility means that equal levels of both are placed in each job or position in the organization.

Managers then conduct organizational operations by featuring centralization, decentralization, specialization, formalization, and degrees of mechanistic or organic flexibility. Each structure matches the specific circumstances of the company involved. When a crisis arises, one natural response is to create additional structure or a new department designed to defend against the threat.

Structural configurations related to various business enterprises include a simple structure, machine bureaucracy, professional bureaucracy, divisional structure, or adhocracy. Each form facilitates the operation of a specific type of enterprise. Organizational goal-setting processes lead to the most efficient and effective forms of organizational decision.

The Case of the Misguided Supervisors

Recently, when a union sought to organize the nurses at a California hospital, the nursing supervisors, called charge nurses, didn’t understand their proper role in the process. While the union was distributing cards for the nurses to indicate their desire for a representation election, several of the charge nurses participated in the union’s meetings and decided they wanted to join. Some of these charge nurses also encouraged nurses who reported to them to support the union as well.

One month before the election, the hospital discovered that charge nurses had supported the union even though their positions in the organization qualified them as supervisors. The charge nurses stopped advocating for the union, and some even encouraged nonsupervisory nurses to vote against representation. The election went ahead, and the union won representation.

The hospital challenged the election because of the pro-union activity by the nurses. However, the NLRB and the court both upheld the union.
