Impact of Organisation Structure on Productivity in Electrical Goods Industry of India
Subscribe/Renew Journal
This paper examines the relationship between the organizational structure and productivity of 12 organisations in the Electrical Goods Industry of India. Structure of an organization is indexed by labour to capital, blue collar to white collar workers, and white collar workers to capital ratios. Estimates of productivity of both labour and capital are derived from Cobb-Douglous Production function. The findings suggest that organisation structure significantly determines productivity of both labour and capital in an organisation. Marginal as well as average productivities of labour, however, are adversely affected by structure.
