Читать книгу Reframing Organizations - Lee G. Bolman - Страница 42

The central beliefs of the structural frame reflect confidence in rationality and faith that an appropriate array of roles and responsibilities will minimize distracting personal static and maximize people's focus on the job. The structural perspective advocates pointing people in the right direction, defining jobs, and stipulating how they work together. Properly designed, these provisions support and accommodate both collective goals and individual differences.

Six assumptions undergird the structural frame:

1 Organizations exist to achieve established goals and objectives and devise strategies to reach those goals.

2 Organizations increase efficiency and enhance performance through specialization and appropriate division of labor.

3 Suitable forms of coordination and control ensure that diverse efforts of individuals and units mesh.

4 Organizations work best when rationality prevails over personal agendas and extraneous pressures.

5 Effective structure fits an organization's current circumstances (including its strategy, technology, workforce, and environment).

6 When performance suffers from structural flaws, the preferred remedy is problem solving and restructuring.
