Case Study: Interdependence

Structure and organization is necessary in every group setting. How formal and how rigid that structure is, can be dependent on the type of organization. A large government or corporation will obviously have many layers of leadership and will have a definitive expression of authority and direction of its members. Even much smaller groups, a family for example, has a need to have a clear statement of goals and responsibilities, and also have a definitive structure of leadership.

Organizational structure is defined as the framework around which the group is organized, the underpinnings in which keep the coalition functioning (Nagy 2015).

According to the Business Dictionary online, structural organization is “the typically hierachichal arrangement of lines of authority communications, rights and duties of an organization. Organization structure determines how the roles, power and responsibilities are assigned, controlled, and coordinated, and how information flows between the different levels of management.”(“What is Organizational Structure,” 2014) An organization’s structure depends on there purpose and mission plan.

The final stage of a “group is the closing stage” (Gladding, pg. 145). This is a part of the group stage “that wasn’t even addressed until the 1970’s” (Gladding, pg. 145). There was an attitude that this stage wasn’t important “because it was considered a natural phenomenon and assumed group leaders and member knew what to do” (Gladding, pg. 145). This oversight may be responsible for “harmful or hurtful results that lead to an unsuccessful group ending” (Gladding, pg. 156). This is why the ending of a group must be “prepared for and thought out to avoid acts of transference and countertransference” (Gladding, pg. 161).

The primary purpose of this paper is to perform an analysis on my organization and identify a problem that the organization is experiencing. To accomplish this task, a brief background of the organization, will first be provided. This will serve to establish a solid foundation for context. Then, the problem will be discussed in detail; to include the nature, as well as any applicable theories that will not only lend support to the paper, but also add additional value. After the issue is laid out, an analysis will be conducted on the nature of the problem. Again, this will help to frame the problem in a context that is easy to identify with. Lastly, a solution will be recommended that would be fit the needs of the organization via it’s members, in order to adequately address the problem.
