OM:Organizational sociology importance and Evolution

Organizational sociology

Organizations in organizational sociology are entities that are studied to understand their functioning, structure, development, power relations, and social reporting. [1]

Organizational sociology is an academic discipline that focuses on studying organizations and their structures, processes, and dynamics. [2]

Industrial sociology, a sub-discipline of organizational sociology, focuses on concepts and processes within the industrial system, such as industrial relations and labor management relations.[3]

The importance of organizational sociology lies in its ability to provide tools for understanding the complex phenomenon of organizations and their relationships with human beings. It offers a heuristic approach to studying organizations by drawing on general sociology and interdisciplinary perspectives ^[1].
