Have you answered all the questions given correctly? Good job! Now, you may
proceed to the next part of this module.
What’s In
This module mainly tackles organizing as a management function. You have learned
previously that organization is a group of people who have different characteristics yet are
formed because they have a common goal. An organization, to be fully efficient and effective,
must incorporate the management processes in their system. In order to accomplish the
management process, management functions are set to create work harmony inside the
organization. These management functions are divided into five (5): planning, organizing,
staffing, leading, and controlling. All these functions are important and must be present in an
organization.
After the first management function, which is planning, organizing must come next.
Organizing is a key function in management which involves proper combination and allocation
of both the human and nonhuman resources. The combination of these resources will
ultimately result to the goal of management – maximum efficiency. However, the focus of this
module is the human resources. Thus, we can define the organizing function as a process of
identifying people, assigning them for a specific task, coordinating horizontally and vertically
with one another, and establishing authority to achieve goals and objectives. The key role of
organizing function is to create a harmonious working environment. Without the organizing
function, all goals and objectives set for the organization will go to waste. Coordination refers
to a process that connect work activities of different units of the firm in order to achieve its
overall goal. Structural mechanisms must be devised in order to increase collaboration and
coordination (Cabrera, et al. 2016) while division of labor involves assigning of different tasks,
mostly according to specialization, to different people in an organization (Benjamin and Del
Castillo 2016). To know more of this, proceed to the activity on the next part of this module.

What’s New
Instruction: Identify the roles of each of your family member. Be specific with the roles and
give at most two (2) roles for each. The first one is given as an example.
FAMILY MEMBER ROLES
Juan Dela Cruz (Father) Head of the family
Juana Dela Cruz (Mother) Financial Manager of the Family
What is It
In the activity given, were you able to properly identify the role of each family member
in your household? Based from the roles you have identified, who is the head of the family?
Who comes next? Is a system or a structure or a hierarchy evident in your household? Yes,
there should be one because a family is considered an organization.
In all organizations, there should be a system which determines the authority, the work
movements, the coordination and communication between and among the members. This is
called the organizational structure. It creates order by arranging the various parts of the
organization, the workflows, the reporting relationships, and the communication channels
(Quero 2017).
There are two types of organizational structures: vertical structure and horizontal
structure. A vertical structure is centralized and the decision-making flows from top to
bottom. This type of organizational structure clears out issues related to authority rights,
responsibilities, and relationships (Benjamin and Del Castillo 2016). Most traditional
businesses use this type because the influence of the top-level managers flows down to
middle-level managers to department heads to rank-and-file employees It also follows a
command and control style of management wherein business hierarchy is manifested since
the decision-making solely relies on top-level managers. On the other hand, a horizontal
structure refers to the departmentalization of an organization into smaller work units as tasks
become increasingly varied and numerous. This type of organizational structure is

decentralized and decision-making could be made at various levels because rank-and-file
employees are also empowered by having the authority to make decisions for business
operations. This creates collaboration and coordination among employees, regardless of
positions. Below are samples of vertical and horizontal organizational structures:

number of levels to pass through.

Designing the organizational structure requires the consideration of basic elements
such as departmentalization, pattern of authority, and span of control. Departmentalization
refers to grouping of jobs based on functions, divisions, or multiple tasks which reflect the
coordination and control of activities.

A diagram presenting the organization’s official positions, formal lines of authority, and
organizational structure is known as organizational chart. In many instances, this chart
includes the name and the position of the staff or personnel. Creating an organizational chart
should include the following elements:
