Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A high degree of formalization can lead to rigid rules and procedures, which can suppress creativity and experimentation. It can also lead to employees feeling disempowered and demotivated, as all decision-making and problem-solving is centralized at the top, leaving little room for employee input or innovation. This can lead to low morale and motivation problems.
