3.5.3.1 Sociology and organization
As in sociology, the study of institutions is a corner stone of the field of study so in this subject
organizations are also analyzed and studied from an institutional perspective. Sociology
considers organization as a planned, coordinated and shared action of society members with a
common purpose in order to achieve tangible or intangible objectives. Because of the
coordinated and planned cooperation among and between members an organization, achieves the
set objective that otherwise cannot be attained by society members through individual efforts.
In sociology organization is a permanent arrangement of elements these elements may include
members, resources, available autonomy and communication.. These elements are the essential
parts that make the existence or performance of any organization possible. The type and nature
of elements of certain organization dictates the purpose, function, behavior and efficiency of that
organization. In sociology an organization is studied in an institutional perspective, the actions
and reactions, functions and approach of an organization ,in sociology, is defined by some pre-
defined rule or guiding principles.
