43. Routine tasks, which have few exceptions and problems that are easy to analyze, are conducive to

A.formalized structure, in which procedures manuals and job descriptions are common.

B.Decentralized decision making, in which decisions are pushed downward in the organization.

C.Organic structures that emphasize adaptability and flexibility to changing circumstances.

D.High degrees of job satisfaction on the part of the employees performing them.

A yes. Technology has been viewed in terms of two dimensions: task variability and problem analyzability, or the exceptions encountered in work and the search procedures for responding to the exceptions, respectively. Routine tasks have few exceptions, and the search for solutions is well defined. Because routine tasks change little overtime, they are well suited to a mechanistic structure. One characteristic of such a structure is high formalization.

B no. decentralized decision making is not suited to routine tasks but to organic structures.

C no organic structures are best when problems are poorly defined.

D no. job satisfaction is often low in routine and repetitive tasks.
