Band 6+: In this era, many companies have abandoned the normal hierarchical structure and started using a more dynamic one. Why? What is the impact?

In this day and age, a large portion of organizations have no longer followed a hierarchical system, and transformed to dynamic ones. This organizational structure is attributed to some reasons which will be elucidated in the essay, and its effects on companies can be beneficial in the long-term.

Recognizing the importance of employees, many companies have adopted dynamic structure in an attempt to boost employee’s morale. Such a system is efficient in enhancing work spirit as it causes a sense of fairness, which previous hierarchical workplace fails to provide. For instance, in the past, the managers’ dominant influence is pervasive in every activity in the department. This is a hindrance for other talented subordinates to progress in career ladder as the superior ones tend to prevent any one potentially threatening their position. As a result, adopting dynamic environment would get rid of that dominance, paving the way for a fair competition among employees, regardless of their positions.

This transformation holds many merits, chief among which is the enhancement in employees’ motivation. Feeling a sense of equality, employees have a greater impetus to put strenuous effort into work in pursuit of self-improvement along with higher salary and remuneration. From an individual perspective, this strongly boosts their ambition, leading to a more energetic environment where employees strive to be promoted without fearing unfair treatment by their boss. From an organizational perspective, as employees endeavour to work more effectively to be recognized, the performance, in general, is also enhanced which leads to better outcomes of the companies.

In conclusion, the organizational transformation to a more dynamic company is adopted recently as a means of the elimination of unfair treatment and dominance of superiors at work, which stifle employees’ development. Such an alteration, while boosting workers’ morale, simultaneously opens a lot of opportunities for them to progress fairly and enhance the general outcomes, benefiting both employees and employers.
