Respuesta :

The four common elements of an organization include (D) common purpose, coordinated effort, division of labor, and hierarchy of authority.

Explanation:

The organizational psychologist  Edgar Schein  proposed four common elements of an organization’s structure namely

  1. Common purpose :It refers to the clarity of the mission and vision.
  2. Coordinated effort :Individualistic and group effort
  3. Division of labor :Work specification for greater efficiency
  4. Hierarchy of authority :Setting chain of commands

If we see from  the point of view of a manager  the day to day operations operations of an organization can be made  successful by instilling a common purpose,which result in  coordinated effort across the organization  and then the work is allocated on the basis of the specialization of the staff and the hierarchy of authority is also defined
