Therefore, we find that organization shows human efforts to achieve the organization’s goals with the least costs, effort, and time, and with the greatest possible adequacy, based on our organization’s goals.:

·  Division of workThis is done by assigning a specific task to each individual so that he can limit and focus his attention on performing it and not on anything else.

·  Coordination and cooperationOne of the most important goals of the organization is to achieve consensus and integration of humanitarian efforts. It also helps coordinate, technology, and maintain available expertise .

·  Developing individual effectiveness“ The greatest goal of an organization, or even its greatest goal, is to provide the appropriate conditions for every individual in the organization to do his best at work.”".
