Resumo(s)

The behavior of the members of an organization is determined, not only by the objective situation facing them, but also by their attitudes. Thus, the objective of aligning collective goals and individual behavior translates into a problem of alignment of attitudes. An important dimension of the problem of organizational design is, therefore, to choose the organization that best contributes to the alignment of attitudes. This paper shows that the existence of animosity, as opposed to affinity, affects the optimal organizational design.
