Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the
organizational structure and productivity of 12
organisations in the Electrical Goods Industry of India.
Structure of an organization is indexed by labour to capital,
blue collar to white collar workers, and white collar
workers to capital ratios. Estimates of productivity of both
labour and capital are derived from Cobb-Douglous
Production function. The findings suggest that
organisation structure significantly determines
productivity of both labour and capital in an organisation.
Marginal as well as average productivities of labour,
however, are adversely affected by structure.
Keywords: Productivity, Organisation Structure, Electrical goods, Cobb Douglous production function
