Abstract
In this paper, we propose network measures and analytical
procedures for modeling the structure and the behavior of the basic types of
organizations, such as: line, functional, line-and-staff, project and matrix
organization. In order to obtain some tangible information about the
connectivity between employees and structural properties of organizations, we
develop network generators for all five types of organizations. We review
various roles and groups of employees within the organizational network, and
we assess social position and impact of a particular employee. Except, assessed
locations of actors within an organizational network, we analyze the structure of
network to find specific employees who have similar roles in the organization
and have a tendency to be equivalent in terms of their potential to act in the
organization. We estimate what is the confidentiality of the organizational
network depending on the removal of a certain communication between
employees and what is the percentage of communications that disconnect the
organization in unconnected parts.
