Abstract

The article discusses the relationship between digital structure formation and individual-based decision making in organizations using organizational and decision theoretical assumptions. Digitalization, due to its specific form, deeply intervenes in the workflow of organizations, while updating their traditional form: While algorithm-based processes of organizational structural automation limit the scope for decision making, the focus on persons is becoming increasingly important. The digital project of making organizational structures rational and resistant to interference results in the establishing of a computational self-logic, which extends the organizational continuum between task and person orientation in both directions. Digital structure automation transforms person-related attributes into a deciding factor in the productive use of leeway, which must now be organized specifically.
