Abstract

In recent years, many studies have been under taken with regard to analysis of Status in Organization, It cannot be denied that in human groups and social organization there is hierarchy of relationship in which each person occupies a single position. This paper aims at examining status and its discrepencies in organization.
From Aristotle to Marx to we see that stress on the vertical structure of human groups have been given in terms of a single hierarchy in which each person occupies a single position. We may, though, find some differences about the nature or character- istics of this status structure, yet consensus has been reached to accept the conception of its unidimen- sional structure.
This concept has been challenged. Among social scientists of the opinion that the unidimensi onal ideal is not adequate to describe the complexities of group structure, Max Weber is most prominent. They have put forward strong arguments that the structure of social groups involves the co-existence of a number of parallel vertical hierarchies which are interlinked
