It has various steps and processes, which include: identification and division of work, departmentalization, task assignment, organizational hierarchy establishment, providing individuals resources, and coordinating efforts and planning activities.
According to Chester Barnard, organizing is a function by which the manager concern becomes capable to define the role positions, the jobs associated and the coordination between authority and responsibility. Therefore, a manager at all times has to organize in order to accomplish the results. Barnard perceived the organization as a multifaceted social system in which he succeeded to move back and forward, indicating a distinctive competence, from practical understandings towards academic beliefs and vice versa, in harmony with the accomplishments in psychology, sociology and human relations. He focused exclusively on studying the human as an important factor in the organization, the psychological impact of human behavior and finding the way to use it to the optimum to accomplish the accomplishment of the company goals. He emphasized on the importance of the need for the managers to be enthusiastic, spirited and consistent in reorganizations or reforms. He also mentioned that apart from managers their colleagues should also be equally motivated and enthusiastic in the administrative department so that legal facets and leadership would be reinforced (Nikezić et al., 2016).
