I need editing for this answer you can change the example or improve it to have more details if possible…..
Please refer to Figure 5.2 in your textbook (comprehensive model for diagnosing organizational system) and answer the following questions based on your understanding:
3. Choose an example of a hypothetical organization and explain the three key inputs (or environmental types) that affect the way such organization could be designed.
4. Choose an example of a hypothetical job position and describe each of its design components at the individual level.
The answer
A.3. my example of a hypothetical organization is a logistics and transport company. Environments are defined as everything outside of the system that may impact its outputs, either directly or indirectly. Transformations, Inputs, and Outputs:
Outputs are the outcomes of what the system transforms and sends to the environment.
Inputs: Inputs include human capital and other resources such as knowledge, energy, and materials that enter the system from the outside world. Transformations are the processes through which inputs are converted into outputs. Companies often carry out transformations by a production or operations function comprised of both social and technology components.
The three key inputs will include:
- The general environment includes all external influences that may impact an organization, either directly or indirectly.
- Another crucial organizational element is the task environment.
- The enacted environment comprises how organization members perceive and depict the general and task contexts (Cummings 2014). Domains must be perceived before they can have an impact on how people react to them.
Michael Porter described an organization’s work environment in terms of industry structure, represented by five forces: customer power, competition among rivals, threats of the entrance, supplier power, and replacement threats.
Within the system of the logistics service provider there are different kind of resources that are more or less utilized when the daily tasks of the logistics service providers a being performed; physical,informational, human, knowledge, relational and organizational resources
A.4. My hypothetical job position is the manager of the logistics and transport company. Design components at the individual level include; autonomy, task identity, skill variety, outcomes feedback, and task relevance:
The degree to which a job gives flexibility and choice in scheduling work and deciding work techniques is autonomy (Cummings 2014).
The degree to which a job necessitates the completion of a generally entire, recognizable piece of labor is measured by task identity .Craftspeople with high degrees of task identity, such as tool and die makers and carpenters, usually have employment with high levels of task identification.
The degree to which a job demands diverse activities and talents to do the function is referred to as skill variety.
The degree to which a job offers workers immediate and unambiguous information regarding the success of task performance is referred to as feedback about outcomes (Cummings 2014).
The task importance indicates the extent to which a job has a significant influence on the lives of others.
