Organizational BehaviorJoin now to read essay Organizational BehaviorRUNNING HEAD: ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUREAs we look further into our analysis we must discuss two important topics:Organizational Structure: “The formal system of task and reporting relationships that an organization establishes to coordinate and motivate its employees” (George, Jennifer & Jones, G (2005) Organizational Behavior p. 547).
Organizational Culture- “The set of shared values, beliefs, and norms that influence the way employees think, feel, and behave toward each other and toward people outside the organization” (p.535).
As we look at these two areas of interest within the walls of Green River, we must notice where the organization is currently and where the organization plans to go with the implementation of changes. Currently the employees and management are working in a capacity that fulfills the needs that fit the organization minimally as compared to the Aberdeen Plant. In order to increase productivity for Green River the changes that occur will also affect the structure and culture of the company to a great degree and these areas will need to be structured in a way that suits the organization as a whole.
There are several strategies that would need to be considered to support the desired changes and the outcome of these changes. According to George & Jones (2005), “Because each organization faces a different set of contingencies, there is no “one best way” to design an organization: The best design is the one that fits the organizations specific situation” (p.505). With that said it is important to address Green River’s specific situations:
Green River employees are already trained for specific job related tasksGreen River is Union environmentEmployees are accustomed to a specific style of managementThe process of manufacturing the chemicals at Green River is difficult to changeAfter careful consideration of the current operating status of the plant the following changes are recommended:Technology: Technology is often limited to the very people who can utilize it. Therefore it is strongly recommended that once teams are designated for specific areas within the plant, these teams discuss and bring information to the Change Officer that could be implemented to increase first, employee safety, and second, increased productivity. The CCO and CLO can begin the process of installing and training employees to utilize this continuous- process technology.
Green River Chemical Company
With the completion of Operation Black Forest and the ongoing development of a new operation for production of some new chemicals, there are multiple areas to prepare the chemicals for the future operation of this plant.
Since operation started the chemical companies at Green River are working side-by-side with the existing chemical plants on a limited capacity supply line in order to get the workers into the correct chemical distribution and transport processes in order to efficiently handle the shift to new operation. When production of new chemicals happens in order to distribute the chemicals on demand the CCOs and CLO must decide which new chemical plants to assign to which specific areas of operation. As a matter of principle, the CCOs do not know which plants to assign to which particular areas of operation, while at the same time the CCOs are instructed to work with managers of other plants to get a good sense of the production patterns based on each new chemical being added. Therefore they are given the following priority role: First they are not to take actions that could result in significant disruption of the operations of third party plant plants which have already been added, given that the company is in an initial stage of acquiring and preparing the new chemical plants.
From the factory, which includes the manufacturing of 3.4 million tons of fertilizers, to the distribution of the new chemicals, where the same process is going on, there must be a complete reorganization which is to be accomplished before the end of production.
Green River’s facilities are highly trained for the very people who can utilize it.
The CCOs are also familiar with all of the operating procedures of the Green River plant. Their efforts are paid in full and have been performed in accordance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, including the Clean Air Act (COA) of the District of Columbia, and the Green River Water Quality Standards. The CCOs are tasked with maintaining and training additional employees in order to further enhance the efficiency and safety of their personnel.
The CCOs are also required to ensure that they are not used where an employee is exposed to a hazardous material and that the employee has a clear and accurate knowledge of its role in their environment. This is done mainly on a regular basis and with the knowledge they make of the environment that the CCOs work in, not to mention how to best utilize it in order to produce a variety of chemicals that are hazardous to the environment. With the addition of a new chemical type which is commonly known as Green River Synthetic Batteries to the workforce of the Green River plant, the COI has implemented a new policy whereby the CCO’s are encouraged to utilize any such chemicals if they are used in a way that jeopardizes the safety of their personnel.
The Government’s environmental policies have been a major issue in the recent years. The following documents are available in three editions: The EPA’s Clean Water Act Directive, a draft in 2000, including its own regulations of the Clean Water Act of 1960, and a new regulation, Citing the EPA’s CCO and Hazardous Materials Regulations, which has been adopted by this Government on behalf of the Administrator. Additionally, the CCO of this Government, in relation to the United States and in relation to an other country as well, uses a range of chemicals and procedures that make their way to the plant.

The state and local governments within your State who recognize the need to ensure that plants are equipped with adequate quality of life are encouraged by the Green River Comprehensive Resources Institute and, as such, the National Endangered Species Act, in an effort to educate the public about the importance of protecting the health of our wild or migratory mammals in order to have adequate

Converting the culture of Green River to an Organic structure- “designed to promote flexibility so the employees can initiate change and adapt quickly to changing conditions” (p.508). This will allow the management and employees to begin and continue the trust process. Keep in mind that these employees will be continually training and qualifying in new areas of the plant, the process and possibility to learn new skills will be available to any employee that chooses a career as opposed to a job.
Implement the use of “Minimum Chain of Command”- Reduce the number of middle-managers and empower employees to set and achieve higher goals. Keeping management as direct and available as possible. Allow employees to make decisions as if the company were their own. (See Chart 1A)
Social Responsibility- Green River must uphold and adhere to its responsibilities to its employees by communicating what is expected of them, what the employee can expect from the organization, and extended further, to the families.
