Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'organizational', deriving from the late Latin 'organizare' (to furnish with organs or structure), and 'structure', from the Latin 'structura' (a fitting together, building), stemming from 'struere' (to pile up, build). First prominent in sociological and management literature during the mid-20th century, it evolved to describe the formal system of task and reporting relationships that control, coordinate, and motivate employees.
