CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of Study
The purpose of structure is the division of work among members of the organization, and the Co-ordination of their activities so they are directed towards the goals and objectives of the organization. An organizational structure is a mostly hierarchical concept of subordination of entities that collaborate and contribute to some one common aim. Organizations are a number of clustered entities the structure of an organization is usually set up in one of a variety of style dependent on their objectives and ambiance the structure of an organization will determine the modes in which it shall operate and will perform.
Organization structure allows the expressed allocation of responsibilities for different entities ordinary description of such entities is as branch, site, department, workgroup, and single people. An organizations structure is the set of formal, the planned relationships between the physical factors and personal required for the performance at these function. In the words of Mullins (2007:564). Organization structure is the pattern of relationship among positions in the organization and among members of the organization.
Organizational structures make possible the application of the process of management and creates a frame work of order and command through which the activities of the organization be planned, organized, directed and controlled. He went further to say that organizational structure define tasks and responsibilities, work roles relationships and channels communication.
Organizational structure is primarily set up for the purpose of promoting co-operation and facilitating the exercise of executive leadership. It permits the relation of co-coordinated thought and action even though organizational relationship become more complete with growth. Birkinshaw (2001:75) said that organizational structure is never the whole story, it is just a way of dividing responsibilities among executive. It is meaningless unless supported appropriate systems and a consistent culture.
However organization structure is still surprisingly informative about strategic priorities and the work going on, so it is as good a place to start as any? the type of organization structure depend on the nature of that particular organization. The form which the organizations structure take may be are presented pictorially by an organization chart. The chart is useful since it aids in locating properly either positions or functions and it shows the lines of responsibility authority and accountability.
Organizational structure shall be adaptive to process requirement aiming to optimize the ratio at effort and input to output. In effective organization structure shall facility working relationship between various entities in the organizational units. Organizations shall support commands for coping with a mix of orders and a change of conditions while performing works.
Firms wishing to slow their entire organizational set up usually do so by preparing a company manual containing policy and objective chart for major and minor organizational units. Job descriptions and specifications and standard procedures. Their portion of the structure presented in the chart shows two types of dimensions. The first is the Verticut dimension which is cut into a number of levels of authority known as service levels. The second is the horizontal dimension which is cut into functions or groups of functions. The structure of an organization affects not only productivity and economic efficiency but also the morale and job satisfaction of the workforce. Getting the structure right is the first step in organizational days. Structure should be designed, therefore, so as to encourage the willing participation of members of the organization and effective organizational performance.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
An organizational structure is primarily set up for the purpose of promoting co-operation and facilitating the exercise of executive leadership. It permits the retention of co-ordinated thought and action every though organizational relationship become more complex with growth. (2001.75) said that organizational structure is never the whole story. It is just a way of dividing responsibility among executives.
Organizational structure is meaningless unless supported by appropriate systems and a consistent culture. However, organizational structure is still surprising information about strategic priorities and the work going on, so it?s as good as place to start as anytime. The type of organizational structure depends on the nature of the particular organization. The form which the organizational structure takes may be represented periodically by an organizational chart.

2. Time Constraints: The most important using to note is the time limitation combining lectures, assignment and also coupled with term paper makes getting materials for the research project difficult.
3. Unavailability of Textbooks and Journals: The information gathered in writing research project must come from several textbooks and journal, but most of these textbooks were hard to find and the ones found were outdated editions.
