Organizational Structure
Organizational structure defines how job tasks are formally divided, grouped, and coordinated. (Robbins, pg. 494). At my job the organizational structure is standard for a large company. We have multiple departments that do different things. We have a planning department, clerical department, relay department, dock department, and so on.

The relay department deals directly with the drivers. This department takes the drivers paper work, check them in, and send them on their next job assignment.

Last but not least, organizational environment it can be positive and it can be negative depending on what is going on at our facility at the time.
