Abstract: (521 Views)
Purpose: The purpose of this research is to create a deep understanding of the way tasks are performed in organizational structures (except for the existing formal structure).
Methodology: By using interpretive-structural modeling and using the opinions of 6 senior employees of Northern Khorasan Industrial Estates Company, the 12 active components in the activity structure of this company were deeply analyzed and hidden relationships between these components (as research variables) were identified.
Findings: Based on this, it was found that the set of activities in this organization can be categorized into 4 levels according to its distance from the main mission of the organization. These levels revealed the differentiation of "dominant" interactions and effects between different organizational departments regardless of the levels defined in the formal structure of the organization. At the lowest level of the model, "Human Resources Development" and "Security" are the most effective departments of the organization. Also, in this analysis, it was found that "public relations" and "financing and market development" are considered the most effective parts of the organization.
Originality/ value: The researchers' investigations showed that the use of this research method to analyze the organizational structure and hierarchy has never been done before.
Recommendations: The structural scheme of an organization, regardless of what is defined as the official structure of the organization, can be influenced by various factors, including the organization's environment. With the help of this method, it is possible to achieve this true schema of the structure of an organization through deep analysis.
