Chapter Summary
• Organizations are complex social entities designed to achieve work-related objectives.
• Classical organizational theory defined the structure of an organization in terms of four principles: functional, scalar, line/staff , and span of control.
• Neoclassical organizational theory revealed that organizations are more complex than initially proposed by classical theory.
• Mintzberg proposed a theory of organizational structure consisting of seven parts: strategic apex, middle line, support staff , technostructure, operating core, ideology, and politics.
• Organizations are defined by a social system of roles, norms, and culture.
• Downsizing, outsourcing, off shoring, and mergers and acquisitions are contemporary sources of job loss.
• The modern economy has given rise to global organizations that through electronic communication operate across time and space.
• Hofstede provided four classic dimensions useful in differentiating cultures around the world: power distance, individualism–collectivism, masculinity–femininity, and uncertainty avoidance.
• Organizations change continuously to adapt to their environments. Organizations can change suddenly and painfully, with downsizing being a major form of change.
• Organizations often resist change, thus it is important to understand the conditions under which change is likely to occur.
• I/O psychology has recently recognized the need for organizations to contribute to the larger environment of which they are a part, the concept of organizational responsibility.
