Sažetak
Organizational levels depends on several factors. Primarily, the number of organizational levels is affected by the size of an organization. It is normal, for large organizations to have multiple organizational levels in comparison to midsize and smaller organizations. On the second place, we can point out the design of the organizational structure in a specific organization, or which type of organizational structure in concrete organization is applied in functional terms. Furthermore, the number of organizational levels within an organization affects the degree of centralization or decentralization of any organization. The growth of decentralization reduces the number of organizational levels. The last, but by many authors the most important factor that influence on the number of organizational levels is control range. Thus, the number of associates that can, from the side of immediate superior, personally direct, coordinate and monitor. Number of control range increases from the top of the pyramid to the bottom of the pyramid, therefore the number of control range is the smallest at the top and the largest at the bottom of the pyramid. The paper main issues were dealt in two ways. The first is a theoretical approach using relevant sources, and the second is an analysis of the range of control in a specific organization (state administrative organization) and the impact on the number of organizational levels.
