ABSTRACT
Specialization and division of labour is the key to organizations. Organizations are groups, but in addition to possessing a structure and culture they are characterized by having a decision-making and enforcing machinery, deliberately set up and constituted for the pursuit of their common goals. The more recent approach has been to investigate the various ways in which organizations, in fact, resolve conflict. Classical theory then had failed to recognize the importance of informal organization and of informal leaders. A more modest approach would be to seek to discover significant organizational variables which would provide a systematic approach for organizational research and attempts to discover empirically the main modes of relations between variables. Most organizations are faced with the problem of selecting individuals who possess the characteristics appropriate to the performance of organizational tasks. The influence of an organization in socializing the individual can be seen most clearly in the case of the more extreme types of organizations.
