After reading a paper on the organization problems in the workplace, am going to write a critique review. from the writer’s viewpoint, I will basically agree on the main ideas and disagree with few of the ideas. Throughout the reading of the article it is clear that Organizations face different problems, for example conflict between employees and unorganized teams at the work place. The writer identifies that the underlying cause of problems at the organization is because of lack of open communication, flow of information or even using wrong organizational structure. In an organization the process of identifying the main problem is not always the same, it should be determined by research and questions like, what created the communications gap between marketing and the rest of the company. The many businesses compound problems are avoided by proper communication on a clear chain command path (Argyris, 2017). The arguments are driven through the issues on the employment process. A keen reader will identify that the management of the organization is the cause of the problems around the organization. Comment by user: The author, did discuss the main ideas well, the only thing that I highlighted was the issue on the management replacement on which I had a different opinion.
It is evident from the reading that the writer clearly stated the organizational problems. Team problems were clearly stated from the reading, teams must be dedicated to working towards an agreed goal. Should they experience personal disconnect with other team members, the team can become non-functional. These issues often stem from management communication breakdowns that confuse team and personal common goals. Team leaders must offer constant feedback and foster cohesiveness. When facing team issues, managers must diagnose the problem and take immediate corrective action to avoid more serious performance breakdown problems. The author clearly shows how the discussion is logically easy to follow as I have agreed from the above short of ideas. Comment by user: The main team problems that were highlighted; trust which is caused by poor leadership, large teams, diverse members, lack of structure and clear process, unclear visions and generally less concern for people in an organization.
From the reading, there was no greater understanding of the problem; this is because the stated problems of the organization simple without a wider discussion. This is practically on the discussion of the organization-wide problems. The writer did to show how employees or team’s personal problems on the organization can expand that problem to being organization problems if appropriate changes are not taken into place. The breadth and the depth of the authors that was brought to the discussion is that many roads can lead to organizational problems at the workplace. Successfully solving these kind of issues, has to properly follow the proper management procedure and the right kind of the advanced solutions. The first thing is to manage and resolve the current known problem right away. Second is learn the problem’s root causes, then address and correct these kind of issues to avoid the repetition of the problem Comment by user: Wider problems in the organization include ineffective leadership. The author needed to have highlighted that leaders need to convey the roles and purpose clearly. They can fail by not defining a compelling vision for the teams and not delegating. Comment by user: The inability to resolve conflict is one of the roads that lead to problem which was not highlighted in full by the writer. He should have discussed how conflicts are common when a group of people work together towards a common goal.
The concluding remarks from the writing message that was left is that, an organization structure is only effective when the entire company uses its management properly through creation of departmental goals for the rest the rest of the departments. It was clear that consultations should always be done properly for the effectiveness of the organization. This I would agree was a key important message. From the reading I would take away one thing mentioned on new management introduction. It would not be so much appropriate to introduce a new management in an organization in place of the old and experience management. Instead proper mechanism on how to correct the functioning management should put. Although, I would agree with argument; that doing away with head of the management means an introduction of a new management. Comment by user: Also clear process of conflict resolution
The other insights that I discovered are the ethical issues around a job description. Companies that do not provide written job descriptions for each position lack the good organization because not only do the important projects fall through process, and employees do not know who should be doing what (Pató, 2017). Also, loyalty with an organization is very important as it the beginning of ethical procedures in the organization especially in the rise of a problem. Comment by user: The responsibility of compliance is the main topic that I come across although not clearly stated. Ethical procedures should have been briefly shown in detail
Finally, regarding the competency in the research writing, I think that the writer should try to put all the main points on the organization problem in one paper. This might be nice because, it shows the respect to the reader who can find the results of the reading in one place and will not bother themselves to look for other pieces elsewhere. The writer appears to argue that all the problems in the organization arise from the departmental level which is true but other problems also may arise as a result of wrong job descriptions and unethical practices. Comment by user: Also the arguments in the paper is that it was effective, the author stayed on topic and provided the right kind of support I followed the resources used and they were legitimate and were cited accurately and also they were current.
