| Abstract | Increasing problems of work inefficiency, pending work, diffusion of responsibility, and bureaucracy in organizations are partly due to the organizations' mechanistic design, which is based on a hierarchical structure. An alternative self-organizing design based on a heterarchical structure has been put forward in recent years. This study examined the prediction of four components of organizational effectiveness of organizations varying in structure. Participants were final-year university engineering students and engineers working in a large public enterprise in India. Comparative analysis has shown significant improvement in organizational effectiveness under a heterarchical structure. The results are discussed within the structural perspective of the organizations. |
