It’s size
As an organization gets larger, its structure gets more complex.
It’s tasks (The nature of its work)
Structure is shaped by the division of work into functions and individual tasks. And how these tasks relate to each other. The complexity and importance of tasks will affect the amount of supervision required, and so the ratio of supervision to work.
It’s Staff
The skills and abilities of staff will determine how the work is structured and the degree of autonomy or supervision is required.
It’s legal, commercial, technical and social environment
New technology is reducing overall staff requirement.
It’s age (The time it has to develop and grow)
Whether it is very set in its ways and traditional, or experimenting with new ways of doing things and making decisions.
It’s culture and management style.
How willing management is to delegate authority at all levels, whether teamwork is favored or large impersonal (formal) structures are accepted by staff.
