organizational structure

Organizational structure encompasses the relationships of authority and communication, both formal and informal, that exist within an organization, as well as the rules, procedures, routines, norms, and other practices that guide and constrain the behavior of organizational participants. Organizational structures comprise both social structures and rational-legal structures that are independent of any particular social actor.
