CO-ORDINATIONMEANING:
Coordination is the unification, integration, synchronization of the efforts of group members so as to provide unity of action in the pursuit of common goals. It is a hidden force which binds all the other functions of management.

s to provide unity of action in the pursuit of common goals”.

efforts not in individual efforts. Coordination has a common purpose of
getting organizational objectives accomplished.

Organization Human factors
Meaning: Human factors and ergonomics (HF&E), also known as comfort design, functional design, and user-friendly systems, is the practice of designing products, systems or processes to take proper account of the interaction between them and the people who use them.
The field has seen contributions from numerous disciplines, such as psychology, engineering, biomechanics, industrial design, physiology and anthropometry.
Sasmira College of Management 19
Importance of Human Factor in coordination: Human resources are utilized to the maximum possible extent in order to achieve individual and organizational goals. An organization’s performance and productivity are directly proportional to the quantity and quality of its human resources. Human factor is the most valuable asset of an organization, and not the money or physical equipment.

Effective organization structure

task allocation, coordination and supervision are directed towards the achievement of organizational aims. It can also be considered as the viewing glass or perspective through which individuals see their organization and its environment.”
Sasmira College of Management 21
Planning for the Ideal
The search for an ideal organization to reflect enterprise goals under given circumstances is impetus to planning. The ultimate form established, like all other plans, seldom remains unchanged, and continuous remolding of the ideal plan is normally necessary.
An ideal organization plan constitutes a standard, and by comparing the present structure with it, enterprise leaders know what changes should be made when possible.

Vertical Communication
» Upward Communication» Downward Communication
Diagonal CommunicationSasmira College of Management
43
Upward communication
Upward communication -the process whereby the ideas, feelings, and perceptions of lower-level employee are communicated to those at higher levels in the organization.
Functions:
It provides management with needed information for decision making.
It helps employees relieve the pressures and frustrations of the work situation.
It enhances employees’ sense of participation in the enterprise.
It serves as a measure of the effectiveness of downward communication.Sasmira College of Management
44
Downward communication
Such communication is initiated by the organization’s upper management and then filters downward through the “chain of command”.
People are limited as to the amount of information they can effectively absorb and react to.
Therefore, management must, of necessity, restrict what it communicates to subordinates.
Organization implies some restriction of communication. Without restrictions on communication, any organizational member could be buried under an avalanche of incoming messages from all the other members.
Sasmira College of Management
45
Diagonal Communication
This occurs when communication occurs between workers in a different section of the organization where one worker is on a higher level.
For example diagonal communication will occur when a department manager converses with an employee in another department.
It allows cross communication between departments
