 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
• An organizational structure defines how activities such as task allocation, coordination, and supervision
are directed toward the achievement of organizational aims.
• It is simply the pattern or network of division of the roles and responsibilities.
• It explains which person has to perform which task. The structure depicts the hierarchy in which members
of an organization rank themselves.

THE TYPES OF ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

CENTRALIZATION SPECIALIZATION FORMALIZATION

refers to the extent to which
decision making power is
concentrated in top management
level of the organization
refers to the extent to which organizational
tasks are divided into subtasks and people
are allocated to execute only one of these
subjects.
High level specialization exists when each
person performs only a limited number of
tasks, while low-level specialization imply
that people perform a range of different and
frequently changing tasks.
Indicates the extent to which the rights and
duties of the members of the organization are
determined and the extent to which these are
written down in rules, procedures, and
instructions.
Its not limited to fixing what ones task are and
how they should be done, but can be broader,
prescribing all kinds of behaviour in the
organization such as dress code, working hours,
smoking regulations, use of office equipment etc.
