Purpose: The benefits of workforce diversity and diversity management are widely discussed. However, meta-analyses of empirical studies on the relationship between workforce diversity and organisational performance show that it is either very weak or non-existent. This discrepancy between theoretical expectations and empirical results, coupled with the increasing diversity of the workforce in business practice, has stimulated work on a particular type of management to benefit from differences among organisational members, i.e. cohesive management. The purpose of this paper is to propose a model of the organisational cohesive management capacity (CMC). Design/methodology/approach: The general concept of cohesive management was based on the results of analyses of management activities carried out in top European football clubs – organisations characterised by a high diversity of the workforce and, at the same time, essentially free of discriminatory biases. Extensive literature research was conducted to define and operationalise the dimensions of CMC in relation to business. Findings: The hypothetical model of the organisation’s CMC was developed. It is shaped by four dimensions: game for talent, sense of unity of purpose, shared identity, and transparency of operations. Research limitations/implications: Research limitations/implications: A limitation of this study is the lack of empirical verification of the hypothesised CMC model. Originality/value: The value of the article is to adapt the management practices inherent in top football clubs to businesses. It defines the dimensions of CMC in business organisations by grounding them in management science theory. The developed concept seems to be of particular relevance to industries strongly dependent on highly qualified employees, high technology industries. The developed model provides a complete and coherent basis for undertaking empirical research.

The aim of the paper is to consider the classical principle of staff stabilization – especially the employment stability of the chief executive – and whether it is still valid in the case of non-profit organizations. The first part of the article presents the theoretical background, which underlines the relation between the period of employment of the chief executive and results achieved by the organization. The second part presents the results of empirical research performed in order to verify the assumed hypothesis. The research is based on the analysis of football clubs from Premiere League as an example of non-profit organizations operating in a turbulent environment. The third part of the article interprets empirical results; in the conclusion the research hypothesis is formulated.

Celem artykułu jest rozważenie, czy klasyczna zasada stabilizacji personelu, a właściwie stabilizacji zatrudnienia kierownika naczelnego, jest właściwa w odniesieniu do organizacji non-profit. W pierwszej części opracowania omówiono wyniki analizy doniesień literaturowych dotyczących związku między stabilizacją zatrudnienia kierownika naczelnego i wynikami organizacji. W drugiej części przedstawiono wyniki badań empirycznych zorientowanych na weryfikację postawionych hipotez badawczych. Obiektami badań były kluby piłkarskie Premier League stanowiące przykład organizacji non-profit funkcjonujących w turbulentnym otoczeniu. W trzeciej części artykułu podjęto próbę interpretacji wyników empirycznych, której rezultatem jest sformułowanie hipotezy badawczej.

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to present the concept of providing organizational structure with necessary stability and variability. Design/methodology/approach: The concept draws from the results of a case study on the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), an organization that dates back to the first half of the sixteenth century, whose leaders assure great adaptive capacity, as well as stability and identity at the same time. Findings: The article sheds light on combining stability and variability during the structuring of organizations and presents a new approach, which builds on the principles of continuity and simplicity. Originality/value: Unlike the well-known organization life cycle models, which consider the organizational structure as a relatively stable element, that is subject to significant transformations when progressing through the life cycle phases, the presented concept favors evolutionary development of structures based on dynamic focusing of continuity and simplicity. The simultaneous observance of both principles has not yet been presented in the literature.

Purpose: The main purpose of the paper is to prove that every organizational structure of a medium and large organization has its basic construction (archetype). An attempt was also made to develop its measurement tool. Design/methodology/approach: The purpose execution is based on a critical literature review, as well as the use of a fractal calculus in measuring the simplicity (complexity) of the archetype. Findings: The concept of archetype is defined, i.e. the solution of the dual organizational problem of differentiation and organizational integration adopted on the second “top” hierarchy level. The archetype, understood in this way, shapes the organizational order, in spite of small changes in the structure, made on a small scale, and contributing to the organization’s identity. A method for measuring the complexity (simplicity) of the archetype has also been proposed. and may be helpful in simplifying structural solutions. Originality/value: An original archetype measurement tool may be helpful in simplifying structural solutions.
