- W123216189 abstract "The expanding size of organizations creates pressures for increased differentiation in organization structures. Such pressures may arise from the problems of communication, control, and supervision faced by large organizations (Caplow, 1957; Blau, 1970; Klatzsky, 1970; Blau & Schoenherr, 1971). Formal organizations cope with these problems by subdividing responsibilities along horizontal, vertical, and spatial dimensions. Dewar and Hage (1978) have recently argued that the relationship between size and vertical differentiation is stronger than that between size and horizontal differentiation. The former arises because large numbers require many supervisors. The latter, however, may arise only if economies of scale allow addition of certain specialized services such as those in legal, advertising, public relations, and fund raising areas. Differentiated structures also create problems of their own. True, such structures enable organizations to reap the benefits resulting from specialization. But they also imply a need for coordination. The increasing differentiation in structure caused by increasing size intensifies the need for coordination in the organization, which in turn tends to restrain further differentiation. Thus, it is argued that structure differentiation may increase with size but only at a decreasing rate (Blau, 1970). A large number of studies provide empirical support for these hypotheses concerning both the magnitude and form of size-structure relationship (Pugh, Hickson, Hinings, & Turner, 1969; Hickson, Pugh, & Pheysey, 1969; Blau & Schoenherr, 1971; Dewar & Hage, 1978). In his recent review, Kimberly (1976) states that the concept of size as it has been used in organization research is too global to permit precise determination of its importance in relation to structure. Although several measures of organization size exist, empirical studies of size-structure relationship generally employ, and offer generalizations based upon, only a single measure of size. Conceptually, different measures of size may be quite unrelated to each other. Operationally also, correlations among size measures are neither sufficiently consistent nor high enough to justify their being considered essentially interchangeable measures of the same concept. For this reason, Kimberly (1976) hypothesizes that different" @default.
