Organisational Structure of the Pahlavi Dynasty
The organizational structure in the Pahlavi dynasty was centralized and the Shah was primarily in charge of all the formations, assemblies and forces. The organizational structure definitely affected the corporate culture of the country. Different levels of authority brought specific responsibilities for individuals and created a role culture throughout the country. This centralized structure caused people to be hired according to their degree and specialty. The centralization and supervision of the jobs, in addition to other privileges brought by the White Revolution, motivated people to work harder. Due to requiring all the employees to be expert at what they do, the training methods were mostly ‘On the job’ because it helped them gain experience. All of these activities and organizations required a central supervision and that was the Shah.
