The sample size of the Senior Management taken from learning organizations is
very small i.e., 11 respondents due to having flat structures. In such organizations there
are lots of opportunities of promotions for the staff at lower level but at the highest level
there are only few positions. In such organizations as the span of employee management
is larger, therefore, authority is mostly decentralized. This was substantiated by existence
of a very few number of senior level staff.
In category B, three organizations were selected that provided us with sufficient
data for carrying out analysis of the given variables. Category B included two
government sector organizations and one semi government organization. These
organizations had mostly bureaucratic design in authority and control structure. The
procedures and rules that were followed for operations were developed decades ago. The
organization that was semi government was initially governmental in nature and had
become an independent body, but the applicable governing rules were the same as
governmental ones. The employees’ salary structure, promotion procedures and
hierarchical controlling authorities were the same as followed in the rest of the
governmental sector. The employees working in this organization hardly had any control
over their work.
Keeping in view the above two different environments, analysis of the data
collected through interviews is given below:
4.1. Section One: Qualitative Analysis
Qualitative analysis of this study is based upon the information collected through the
interviews conducted with the staff of different learning and conventional organizations.
The discussion includes analysis of the information collected through interviews with
senior management, the middle and junior level staff. As the study is primarily a
qualitative study, so these interview questions were geared to have an insight into
qualitative aspect of the study which was not possible to achieve through a single tool,
i.e., a questionnaire.
Before getting into detailed discussion at this point it is highlighted that during the
process of data collection for this study some major issues were confronted that slowed
