Introduction
Organizations are comprised of individuals who are brought together to enable the achievement of its mission. The organizations structure highly determines the roles of each and every individual and the manner in which they work together in teams and how these employees relate to one another. For an organization to achieve its success, it is rational that the employees within the organization work together towards the achievement of their goals.
