This study develops the Burns and Stalker (1961) concept of organic structure, in operational terms, applying it to small work groups. A core dimension emerges, called "organicity, " which correlates strongly with the innovativeness of a group's task. The concept and the instruments for its measurement could find applications in studying the relation between individuals and their organizational work roles.
