Organic structure in an organization it’s one that the reporting structure is exceptionally flat. In contrast, a flat organization is one that has no levels of management that link the administration and the employees (Morgan & John Wiley 2016). Most companies are adopting this form of control because of various reasons. These are low operating costs, improved communication, reduction in micromanagement, employee motivation, and satisfaction. In this type of structure, decision making doesn’t flow from the top management but the staff. Additionally, employees have essential authority with no or minimum supervision, therefore lowering the cost because middle management staff is not part of the workforce.
Furthermore, communication is a challenge in most organizational structures due to the numerous steps and channels involved (Morgan & John Wiley 2016). In flat and organic structure, the communication is convenient and efficient because the employees and other members of staff communicate directly to the management with no intermediaries involved. This helps in enhancing efficiency and clarity in communication. Involved in a few in the communication chain reduces the distortion of information. Additionally, micromanaging hinders creativity in an organization because every move made by the employees, the manager must criticize it. During the implementation of new ideas, the managers must be part of it. On the other hand, employer prospective culture clarification is through having an overview of the company, getting to know the leadership strategies, communication strategies, performance of the employees, and recruitment and retention. Company culture is essential to the person applying for a job to know the challenges involve and whether he or she will grow career-wise.
