Introduction
Understanding the concept of an organization is crucial in analyzing its structure,
behavior, and overall effectiveness. An organization can be defined as a systematic
arrangement of people working together to achieve common goals. This assignment
delves into various aspects of organizational theory and behavior. It begins by defining
what an organization is and provides an example to illustrate the concept, including its
vision and mission. The assignment then contrasts traditional and bureaucratic
organizational structures as suggested by Hickson and Macdonald (2001). Furthermore,
it explores the role of psychology, sociology, anthropology, and political science in
understanding organizational behavior. Finally, the assignment includes a practical
application by drawing the structure of the Human Resources Department for Ndzilo PTY
LTD, highlighting the hierarchy and reporting lines within the directorate. Through these
discussions, a comprehensive understanding of organizational concepts and their
applications is developed.
