Organisationnelle

Organisationnelle is a French adjective that relates to organization and the organization of activities, systems, and institutions. In management, sociology, and related fields, it is used to describe aspects that concern how work is structured, governed, and coordinated within a group or enterprise.

The term derives from the noun organisation (organization) with the feminine suffix -nelle. It is used in phrases such as culture organisationnelle (organizational culture), changement organisationnel (organizational change), structure organisationnelle (organizational structure), and efficacité organisationnelle (organizational efficiency). In contrast with terms like structurel, which focus more on physical or mechanical properties, organisationnelle emphasizes social, procedural, and cultural dimensions of an entity.

In literature and practice, organisationnelle appears across disciplines such as psychologie organisationnelle (organizational psychology), comportement organisationnel (organizational behavior), développement organisationnel (organizational development), and design organisationnel (organizational design). It helps frame analyses of how decisions are made, how information flows, how roles are defined, and how cultures support or hinder strategic goals. The concept is central to topics like governance, change management, and process improvement, where understanding organizational design and culture is essential for effectiveness.

Spelling notes: the masculine form is organisationnel and the feminine form is organisationnelle. In English-language contexts, equivalent terms include organizational (or organisational) and organizational culture, reflecting cross-language usage in global management discourse.
