As the business environment becomes more fluid and complex, many kinds of challenges arise for an organization to compete and survive in the market. Some organizations overcome these challenges by continuously optimizing and improving their standard operations whereas some other organization, executing projects to projects in order to serve the demands which are more tailored in details and contexts. Thus, to assess the performance and effectiveness of the organization, it is important to look into its organizational structure which gives the foundation of the organization's operational style.
This is because the shape of an organization determines how effectively the organization’s decision-making and communication systems work [Jones, Gareth R. (2013): Organizational Theory, Design, and Change, 7nd edition, Pearson Prentice Hall]. The organizational structure influences how people in the organization works together, for instance in a tall organization with many levels of managers, a manager may try to take credits from the hard work that his team puts in, and thus, resulting in lower-level employees being less motivated to work. The structure can also effects the quality of work that different department produces. This may due to miscommunicated goals between the managers and the employees as commonly, the more levels that the information is delivered, the more distorted the information becomes. Overall, by looking from different perspectives to the organizational structure, namely the organization's height and width, mechanistic and organic properties, integration level, one can potential recognize the success level of the organization.
In the light of project management aspect, the organizational structure plays a role in facilitating the projects and determining the success level. As all projects are in its nature unique, each project should be handled by appropriate group of people by which is under the influence of the organizational structure.
