Our outlook of work derives from the desire of survival. Like in Darwin’s philosophical discourse upon discovering a modern theory about man’s evolution, the “survival of the fittest” is but a constant reminder to each and everyone. Remembering this thought, man strives to exert much of his effort and energy for survival. In this case, Marx reminds us of man’s alienation because of capitalists’ exploitation of labor among the workforce or workers.
In contrast to Marx’s proclamation “workers unite”, inevitably, workers tried to unheard such radicalism of Marx, since work gives man a sense of meaning and survival, even the system leans towards exploitation and inequality.
In this respect, as the era evolves and the world developed, various organizational theories, methods, rules, guidelines, and approaches are being researched and tested to create a more balance treatment among workers and managers.
As man continues to make himself attune and adaptive to the demands of the current time, he should be ready to take the challenges that await him. However, only man can survive if and when he is ready to sacrifice and share his energy and force to the production of needs. Meaning, in the time of idleness, one can gain nothing but spending time in uselessness. As the world moves forward into a more unified, homogenized and universal culture and economy, competition among multi national organizations and firms are strongly apparent. This point brings us to understand and analyze the role of organization in the growth of the business industry and the society in general. Moreover, the core of this study is how people as composite of an organization contribute to the growth and situation
Every organization of a given type must perform certain jobs in order do its work. For example, key functions of a manufacturing company include production, purchasing, marketing, accounting, and personnel. The functions of a hospital include surgery, psychiatry, nursing, housekeeping, and billing. Using such functions as the basis for structuring the organization may, in some instances, have the advantage of efficiency. Grouping jobs that require the same knowledge, skills, and resources allows them to be done efficiently and promotes the development of greater expertise. A disadvantage of functional groupings is that people with the same skills and knowledge may develop a narrow departmental focus and have difficulty appreciating any other view of what is important to the organization; in this case, organizational goals may be sacrificed in favor of departmental goals. In addition, coordination of work across functional boundaries can become a difficult management challenge, especially as the organization grows in size and spreads to multiple geographical locations.
