| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to show that the structure of a formal organization has implications for staffing, communicating and performing in order to achieve organizational goals. Drawing specific instances from the case of the Bendel State Board of Education Headquarters as at June, 1980, it was evident that for a proper staff positioning, communicating and performing in an organization, managers have to (a) constantly review the structure of their organizations (b) define precisely the various functions (c) use as a guide the organizational structure in staff positioning (d) define clear lines of authority in the organization and (e) recognize damaging structural situations and prevent them. |
