Abstract
This paper is a summary of a brief organizational study of a bank branch. One of the authors has worked for the branch, and is a graduate student at the university. Taking an advanced organizational course directed by Dr. Ivanov, the student and colleague-professors evaluated the organization and work environment of this comparatively small department based on the management theories of Drs. Elliott Jaques and W. Edwards Deming. The authors discuss key findings, and offer simple recommendations that could improve all organizations worldwide should their leaders be interested in transforming the work and organization.
Key Words: Organizational Science, Deming, Jaques, Organizational Theory, Work
