Organizational effectiveness (which produces positive results) remains a major concern of organizations in spite of several dynamic developments in structure and role of organizations. Due to changes in business environment, organizations are constrained to make suitable changes in their structure and strategy. This results in changes in the present power structure and processes and control becomes a difficult task. If employees remain committed to organizations, in spite of environment and consequent impact on the organization, this process of change and adjustment can be smooth. Many organizations have found that empowering employees and decentralizing decision making can go a long way to establish organizational stability and credibility. Organizational environment is enriched as a result of management strategy and suitable strategic interventions, so that employees can contribute in a free and fair manner.

Success of organizations will depend on the ability of organizations to adapt to dynamic changes in business environment and create an organization structure in which employees can contribute freely.
