organisatoriske

Organisatoriske is an adjective used in Danish and Norwegian to mean related to organization or organizational matters. It describes aspects connected with how an organization is structured, governed, and operated.

In organizational studies and management, organisatoriske forhold include structural design (such as hierarchy, departments, and roles), decision-making processes, coordination mechanisms, and organizational culture and values. They also cover communication flows, workflows, and the distribution of authority and responsibility. The term is often contrasted with tekniske or operasjonelle factors to distinguish between people- and structure-related issues and technical or operational ones.

Common uses in discourse include phrases like organisatoriske ændringer (organizational changes), organisatoriske barrierer (organizational barriers), and organisatoriske forhold in reports and analyses. Recognizing organisatoriske factors is considered crucial for the success of initiatives such as process improvements, digitalization, or strategy implementation, since resistance, misaligned incentives, or cultural mismatches can hinder adoption even when the technical solution is sound.

The concept spans various sectors, including business, public administration, and non-profits. It is frequently discussed together with topics like organisatorisk design (design of organizational structures), organisatorisk kultur (organizational culture), and organisatorisk læring (organizational learning). Etymologically, it derives from the broader notion of organization, adapted to Danish and Norwegian spelling and usage.
