Common Elements of An OrganizationOrganizational psychologist Edgar Schein proposes four common elements of an organization’s structure:
1.Common purpose
2.Coordinated effort
3.Division of labor
4.Hierarchy of authority

• Common Purpose
An organization without a clear purpose or mission soon begins to drift and become disorganized. A common purpose unifies employeesor members and gives everyone an understanding of the organization’s direction.
Mission Statement- ort summary of your company's purpose. A mission statement provides perfect clarity behind the“what,” the “who,” and the “why,” of your company.
Vision Statement- focuses on the potential inherent in the company's future; it's about what they intend to be. ... The visionstatement is a description of the "what," meaning, what the company aspires to be.
Core Values- shape your company culture and impact your business strategy. They help you create a purpose, improve teamcohesion, and create a sense of commitment in the workplace
• Coordinated Effort
Coordinating effort involves working together in a way that maximizes resources. The common purpose is achieved through thecoordinated effort of all individuals and groups within an organization.
• Division of Labor
Division of labor is also known as work specification for greater efficiency. It involves delegating specific parts of a broader task todifferent people within the organization based upon their particular abilities and skills.
• Hierarchy of Authority
Hierarchy of authority is essentially the chain of command—a control mechanism for making sure the right people do the right things atthe right time. While there are a wide variety of organizational structures—some with more centralization of authority than others—hierarchy in decision making is a critical factor for success. Knowing who will make decisions under what circumstances enablesorganizations to be agile, while ambiguity of authority can often slow the decision-making process. Authority enables organizations to setdirections and select strategies, which can in turn enable a common purpose.

functions to manage tasks and outlines how certain activities are directed in order to achieve the goals of an organization.
