Organizational Chart AnalysisOrganizations in today's world must adapt and overcome many obstacles that are predictable and unpredictable. Max Weber outlines the five fundamental principles of bureaucracy which are as follows: division of labor, hierarchy of authority, written rules and regulations, principle of impersonality, and technical qualifications. These basic principles were designed to maximize productivity and assert authority over subordinates in the workforce. (Weber, 1968) Nowadays the basic principles of Weber's bureaucratic design are still visible in almost all organizations. The only variable is the extent to which they are applied. Organizations can be set up in many different ways. Their general classifications can be summarized by the characteristics of complexity within the system, the level of formalization and the centralization of decision-making power. The structure of each organization is influenced by many factors. Such factors include; the goods and services provided, the overall individuality of the personnel providing the service and producing the products. The general beliefs and values ​​of the individuals who perform the services being provided, the technology used to provide the services and aids in producing the product, and the generalized needs, wants, and characteristics of the consumer population requesting or requiring the product or the service. (Yoder-Wise, 2007, p. 145) The organization will have different operational priorities based on its ownership. The main goal of most businesses is to make money. The privately owned institution strives to make money for its shareholders, while a non-profit institution reinvests all of its revenue into the ever-changing... middle of paper... body, some degree of freedom must be felt by its members, it represents bureaucracy and an organization from which chaos has been completely eliminated. Nursing managers will therefore need to encourage staff to challenge existing practice. Given the current environment, it will be necessary to sustain creative conflict for our growth to continue.” (McGuire, 1999, p. 9) I believe Capital Health is on the path to success. They modernized the organizational chart creating a more decentralized environment. This new atmosphere promotes the empowerment of nursing staff. This sense of ownership in one's practice provides growth not only to the individual nurse, but to the entire profession. This positive and proactive change to the organizational structure will allow the hospital to experience continuous growth and development, driven from within.
