Abstract:
Plan Ghana as a Non-Governmental Organization in search for a good
structure went through re-structuring in 2011 and adopted decentralization
strategy, where every Programme Unit operates as a semi-autonomous unit.
Study has shown that an appropriate organizational structure is contingent
upon the many factors including the environment, in which the organization
conducts its business. The major objective of the study is to examine the
relationship between the Plan Ghana structure and performance. The research
adopted a descriptive research method for collecting and analyzing data.
Sample of the various categories of workers was taken from the company’s
total population using purposive and stratified sampling techniques.
Questionnaires were employed as the main tool of data collection for the
study. The study found out that the organizational structure put in place after
restructuring is organic due to the nature of its operations, the strategy,
environment and size. However, this structure creates dual reporting lines and
its accompanied problem of conflicts.
