Today it is not easy to imagine a society without organizations since they relate to every area of our life. In this regard, organizational theories, which study corporate designs and structures, the behavior of individuals or groups in an organization, and how they interact to achieve their goals, become especially relevant. According to Champoux (2016), the central problem of organizations’ sociology is the ratio of personal and impersonal factors of organizations, individual and common in them, leadership and subordination, and the correspondence of various goals. In practice, the use of organizational theories can improve the functionality and efficiency of the organization.
The development of the sociology of organizations took place in the middle of the 20th century, when developed societies entered a new era of social relations, called the era of post-industrial society. Scott (2004) notes the organizations sought to more fully use the employee’s human potential, using his desire for self-expression and self-realization. Moreover, the increase in the importance of civil society presupposed public entities included in managing a community. Public organizations make up a civil society called upon to influence the policy of the state. Thus, the diversity of the subjects of management and managerial ties and relations has increased.
Membership in the organization is one of the critical resources for those interested in professional development or contact with like-minded people in a field of interest. I am a member of WWF whose primary goal is to preserve the biological diversity of the Earth. Membership in this organization helps me find like-minded people and even friends, contributing to the realization of my ideas and the expression of my point of view. Although there are some organizational changes associated with social changes based on the epidemiological situation, this does not prevent them from spreading their ideas and clearly following the organization’s goals.
