Abstract

Rad se fokusira na organizacijskom dizajnu i njegovim promjenama koje su uzrokovanje djelovanjem vanjskih čimbenika, a primarno izbijanjem pandemije COVID-19 virusa. Glavna svrha je, primjenom Galbraithovog Modela zvijezde, otkriti koje su točno komponente organizacijskog dizajna pogođene suvremenim izazovima u obliku neizvjesnosti i dinamičnim promjenama uvjeta koje su dodatno potencirane u uvjetima pandemije. Dakle, cilj ovog rada je ukazati na multidimenzionalnost organizacijskog dizajna te pružanje pogleda na promjene u organizacijskom dizajnu (kroz primjenu Modela zvijezde) u današnjoj izazovnoj okolini koja je odnedavno prožeta i izazovima koje pred sve organizacije stavlja pandemija COVID-19 virusa, a sve kako bi se dodatno istaknula važnost uloga organizacijskog dizajna u ispunjavanju organizacijskih ciljeva.

U svrhu ovog diplomskog rada provedeno je empirijsko istraživanje o promjenama organizacijskog dizajna izazvanim COVID-19 pandemijom. Ispitanici tj. rukovoditelji organizacijskih jedinica odgovaraju u kojoj mjeri je pandemija utjecala na pojedine elemente dizajniranja organizacije. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da zaista dolazi do promjene pojedinih elemenata organizacijskog dizajna pod utjecajem pandemije COVID-19 virusa.

Abstract (english)

The paper focuses on organizational design and its changes, which are caused by external factors, primarily the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The main purpose is, by applying Galbraith's Star Model, to find out exactly which elements of organizational design are affected by contemporary challenges in the form of uncertainty and dynamic changes in conditions that are additionally potentiated in pandemic conditions. So, the goal of this paper is to point out the multidimensionality of organizational design and to provide a view into the changes of organizational design (through the application of the Star Model) in today's challenging environment, which has recently been permeated with the challenges posed to all organizations by the COVID-19 pandemic, all in order to highlight the importance of the role of organizational design in achieving organizational goals.

For the purpose of this thesis, an empirical research was conducted on organizational design changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Respondents, i.e. managers of organizational units, answer to what extent the pandemic has affected certain elements of the organization's design. The results of the research show that certain elements of organizational design are changing under the influence of the COVID-19 virus pandemic.
