Define the Principles of Organization

The Webster’s dictionary definition of organization is characterized as the condition or manner of being organized. Simpler said, organization is the process of being fully developed and or having a plan that embodies structure and action. The dictionary also states that the word principle means to be active. So the Principles of Organization is the process of being developed with an action plan or goal that is utilized within any functional work environment including the Human Resource Management department. The first principle is to achieve balance which can often times be a difficult challenge, but is very obtainable. There has to be a constant pursuit of balance between the competing areas that makes up the organization. Another principle is to prioritize all goals and this is achieved through making them straight-forward, understandable and meaningful so that the priority is clear. The next principle is to measure the productivity that is efficient at several different levels. This also relates to the different managers that should be at different levels to provide leadership in these different areas to obtain the productivity needed from all angles. This type of organization principle gives everyone a sense of responsibility throughout the departments and creates accountability. Other principles would be analyzing the benefits of strategic thinking because organizations are less likely to fail because of proper planning. These benefits include a healthy and leading, well managed organization. Communication is very important and all leaders must be equipped in every area to make the organization better so that establishment will be built upon a firm foundation.
Different levels of Management

There are different levels of management which includes a top, middle and lower level. Top managers guide the performance of the organization as a whole or of one of its major parts. Their titles are often CEO, president, and vice president. They hand down many different instructions and have very detailed responsibilities but more importantly they run the entire company. Their task include laying down objectives, instructions on budgeting, preparing procedures and policies, they also provide guidance and direction for the company. They also appoint middle level management to actually work within the perimeter of the instructions that were given. Middle management over-see’s the work of large departments or divisions of the company. They are in charge of relatively large departments or divisions consisting of several smaller work units. They are responsible to the top management for the functioning of their departments or divisions. They execute the plans of top management for the company and adequately monitor the different departments they manage. Middle management also participates in the training and developing of lower management, evaluates performances for lower management; they are also expected to inspire lower management to become better professionals. Lower management, supervisors or team leaders are usually in charge of a small work group composed of non-managerial workers. These individuals usually creates the building blocks for organizational performances, plan meeting and work schedules, clarify goals and task and gather ideas for improvement, recommend pay increases and new assignments and inform team members about organizational goals. These individuals also inform the higher levels of team needs and accomplishments, encourage high performance and engage in teamwork.
