A Study of the Perception of Indian Employees on Organizational Structure
Abstract
This paper examines the perception of Indian employees on the role of organizational structure; it
also aims to assess the impact of culture on the views of Indian employees regarding their choice of
work environment and the feasibility of self-management practices in India. Despite widespread
acknowledgment of the challenges presented by flat structures and hierarchical structures, little is
known about today's Indian workforce's think and needs. The relationships between various factors
on the employees’ orientation of the preferred organizational structure and its effect on their
motivation are studied in this paper. The results reveal no great disparity in the views and choices of
the employees who have an experience of flat structure and those who do not. However, it does
indicate various other relationships between the factors that impact the organizational structure like
Control and Capability, Reward-Systems and Organizational Levels, Culture and Reward Systems,
Tendency to Explore and Reward Systems, Organizational levels and Motivation and lastly,
Organizational Level and Culture. The results also suggest that Indian employees do want to have
autonomy and responsibility in their work. However, they do believe that the different organizational
levels have their role in managing the organization.
