"Corporations and other businesses should try to eliminate the many ranks and salary grades that classify employees according to their experience and expertise. A 'flat' organizational structure is more likely to encourage collegiality and cooperation among employees."
Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons
and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.
Whether a flat organisational structure ecourages collegiality and cooperation among employees depends on the whether this structures solves the purpose of the organisation and of its employees. Majority of the organisations in world follow heirarchial structure. Therefore, in my view, flat organisational structure does not be supposed to solve purposes of organistaions and its employess.
The chief reason for my view is that ranks classify employess on the basis of their expertise and knowledge of their industry and work. Rank wise classification helps overall distribution and management of the work of the organisation. The higher ranked person manages a task by coordinating with people working under. In such a structure, responsibilities can be given to people who can ably manage the work, handle risks invovled and take affirmative actions. Since everybody is not capable of handling such a demanding role, people who have been ranked on the basis of their experience and knowledge are best suited for this role.
Another reason for my view is that every employee needs a motivating reason to do his or her job in the best possible manner. For many employees, earning more money is a very strong motivating factor, which makes them perform better. If, on performing better, an employee becomes more likely to rise higher in rank and thereby draw more salary, then, most employees will prefer grwoing like this. And, when an employee grows, the company grows and vice versa. In a flat structure, there is no scope of money being a motivating reason, therefore, in my opinion, employees won't put efforts to do their jobs in the best possible way.
However, people who oppose my view might say that in heirarchial organisations greed and competitive spirit is stronger and employees in such organisations are self centered and have less regard for equality. It might be true, but does it help in growth of the organisation? Does it help in growth of an individual?
In sum, I concur that the merits of rank and grade based organisational structure outweigh the merits of a flat organisational structure. Therefore, rank and grade based organisational structure must remain and continue.
