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.
