The Organization Without the Boss; a New Way to the Design of Organizations in Complex Situations

Abstract

In the present age, the complexity and changes of the environment are so widespread and dynamic that many organizations are not able to adapt to changes using traditional hierarchical structures. Such conditions force companies to move towards flat and flexible structures. The purpose of this article is to identify and introduce new ways of organizing in today's complex age. To achieve this goal, we examined the literature by reviewing the literature using the library and examining the documents and articles in journals. Finally, by introducing the lattice structure as a new way of organizing, using small work teams and power distribution in the organization can reduce the barriers caused by traditional hierarchical bureaucracies and provide responsiveness, flexibility, creativity, innovation, efficiency and effectiveness in the organization. Using such a way of organizing can bring benefits such as Unlimited and multidirectional communication between people, Multidirectional career advancement path, the emergence of creative ideas, balance between life and work, increased morale and happiness, work motivation and commitment to goals in the organization.
