Advantages and Disadvantages of a mechanistic structure


	Advantages and Disadvantages of a mechanistic structure
	Advantages clearly defined paths/ tasks high specialization of employees usually good results (due to high specialization) tasks are usually delivered within the provided time it ensures that rules and regulations are followed promotion processes may be easy (it is clearly visible who is suited and does good work)	Disadvantages high specialization of employees if someone has a bad solution for a task, it is hard to correct it or do better due to the high level of specialization in a case of an illness, the tasks just do not get done since nobody is able to finish them demoralizes employees as they're not included in the decision making process a stiff structure that doesn't allow employees to learn new tasks
	Evaluation

clearly defined paths/ tasks
high specialization of employees
usually good results (due to high specialization)
tasks are usually delivered within the provided time
it ensures that rules and regulations are followed
promotion processes may be easy (it is clearly visible who is suited and does good work)

high specialization of employees
if someone has a bad solution for a task, it is hard to correct it or do better due to the high level of specialization
in a case of an illness, the tasks just do not get done since nobody is able to finish them
demoralizes employees as they're not included in the decision making process
