Contingency approach 2) environment

• Environmental conditions organizational structure
→
• Characteristics of environmental conditions will affect the organizational structure.
✓ Some of the studies on this subject:
▪▪
1. Burns and Stalker study:
At 20 industrial enterprises in 1961
▪ They determined the environmental factor as “the rate of change in technology and the market”.
The rate of change in technology and market = emergence of new inventions and
▪ technological innovations
In other words, the effect of the rate of change in technology and the market on the organizational structure.
▪ they have researched.
→
Result = 1) The rate of change is low (environmental conditions are stagnant and balanced) mechanical organizational structure is appropr
2. Lawrence and Lorsh Study:
He focused on the following three concepts:
▪
a) Differentiation:
In terms of purposes =Some units are for marketing purposes, while others
▪ for cost purposes.
In terms of time=Some units are long term, some units are short term
▪ term.
In terms of interpersonal relations=to do business or to get along
▪ for the purpose of
Foreman of organizational structure=Unit predetermined first e and
Does it focus on methods?
b) Coordination (Integration): Cooperation and solidarity among employees
It means.
▪▪
c) Ambient uncertainty:
The rate of change in environmental conditions
▪ The degree of certainty in obtaining information
Time taken to obtain feedback on the results of decisions. Result = Increasing uncertainty in the environment → Differentiation and

3. Emery and Trist Study:
In this study, what kind of organizational structure will be appropriate in which environmental conditions.
did not dwell on it. This study only conceptualizes environmental elements.
▪ it is a work. In other words, it allows us to better understand the concept of environment.
Emery and Trist said that there will be 4 types of relationships in the environment:
→
➢ L11= Internal interdependence relations Inter-unit relations within the organization
→
➢ L12= giving from within the organization output outside the organization, that is to the environment
➢ L21=from outside the organization → giving input into the organization (from the environment) → (to the organization)
▪ Emery and➢ L22=Interorganizational relations outside the main organization
Trist divided the environments in which the L22 exists into 4: this environment type is also 2
examined in terms of size:
a) Strength of mutual relations: The change in one environmental factor
the degree to which it affects the environment.
Example: The high number of competitors greatly affects the sales of a company.
b) Rate of Change: rate of change in environmental factors
→
Outcome: If the strength of the interrelationships and A turbulent environment (difficult to decide) the rate of change is High
→
If the strength of interrelationships and a stagnant messy environment (uncertainty )
If the rate of change is low
4. James Thompson Studies:
Thompson studies:
1) The organization has classified its sub-systems and divided them into 3:
a) Technical (operational) sub-system: where the technology is actually used and
done part
