Which characteristics are common in a classical organization?

A) joint employee-management planning and goal setting
B) intrinsic rewards often being used as a reward system
C) loyal employees who are dedicated to the norms of the organization
D) strong management control over employees

Strong management control over employees is a common characteristic of a classical organization. This type of organization typically has a hierarchical structure with clear lines of authority and a focus on efficiency and productivity. Joint employee-management planning and goal setting can occur in some classical organizations, but it is not as common as strong management control. Intrinsic rewards may be used as a reward system, but extrinsic rewards are more prevalent. While loyal employees who are dedicated to the norms of the organization may exist in a classical organization, it is not necessarily a defining characteristic.
