Discussion
Assertion (A) : There cannot be an organisation without hierarchy.
Reason (R) : Organisation involves a group of people amongst whom work is divided.
Answer the question using the codes given below :
Answer: A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Hierarchy is treated as a universal feature of organisation: Mooney and Reiley called the scalar principle universal, found wherever people are organised.
The reason given explains why. An organisation is a group of people among whom work is divided, and once work is divided someone must assign the parts, direct them and bring them together. That is done through graded levels of authority, which is hierarchy. Since the division of work is what makes hierarchy necessary, (R) is the explanation of (A), ruling out option B, and options C and D are wrong because both statements are true.
