5 Characteristics and 3 Examples

Give at least five characteristics of an organization.

Explain how these characteristics contribute in the

success of the organization.
According to Louis Allen, organization is a system of identifying and delegating work to be done, with
definitions for each responsibility and authority, and a process of fostering relationships to enable
people to work optimally in collaboration with one another in reaching their goals. In this definition,
there are certain characteristics mentioned that defines what an organization should nurture; (1)
Division of Work; (2) Collaboration, (3) Commonality of Goals and Objectives; (4) Well-defined Authority;
and (5) Relationships.

Because any organization deals with tasks and responsibilities, it is essential to have a clear
definition of the duties and responsibilities of people behind it. These set of functions let the
organization thrive under different circumstances, as any task has a person responsible for the
organization’s moves. It is therefore necessary that the person in-charge of a specific function is an
expert of his/her position and is capable to deliver his/her roles for efficiency and efficacy.
To bring harmony to an organization, collaboration is also one of the essentials in the delivery of
tasks and the achieving of goals. This involves constant and smooth flow of communication with
different departments and offices. It also avoids duplication of work and delays, as coordination is also
part of collaboration. As they say, the whole is better than the sum of its parts.
An organization cannot function without a clear vision and mission. In these ideals, we can
derive the association’s specific goals and objectives. The structure of an organization depends on these
set of goals and objectives, and the direction of a company or group depends on the realization of these
goals.
Responsibility is clearly a part of organization. Whether a company is consisting of different

offices or committees, a hierarchy of functions is needed to define responsible persons in a certain
function and task. There is always a central authority where major decisions are made and handed down
to different parts of the organization. It ensures continuity and direction.
Lastly, the cooperation of various members of the group is key to a successful organization.
Creating meaningful relationships among persons inside the organization is essential for its growth and
expansion. The structure of relationships should be designed that it motivates people to perform their
part of work seamlessly.
Give some particular examples (at least 3 situations) of when change management is needed in
education setting.
Change is part of life. It allows us to move forward; it gives us the push we need to achieve
more. In the educational setting, the main purpose is to effect change. Therefore, there are a plethora of
concrete examples when a need for change management arises.
One instance is in the classroom. When a teacher wants to improve the standing of his/her class,
he needs the participation of all students in the section to apply and support change. This means peer
support, and the concept of egalitarianism. This means that every learner should take care of their
classmates, which in turn, leads to better learning outcomes.
Another is the accomplishment of the School-Based Management in the school. Different

aspects of organizational management are always being monitored by the division office, and it takes
the optimum performance of several teams for the standards to be achieved. This means consultation
with persons involved, delegation of leadership, and communication with all stakeholders.
Lastly, Brigada Eskwela is a program of the Department of Education before every school year
commences. This is a donation drive wherein different organizations in the community is encouraged to
do their part in preparing the school for the learners. In this activity, stakeholders, barangay leaders,
government officials and non-government organizations look for ways in helping the school achieve a
safe learning institution for learners to achieve their goals in the educational environment.
