ARROYO VALENCIANO, Juan Antonio. A model of Organizational Structure for the Educational Center from the contributions of the Organization Theory. Rev. Actual. Investig. Educ [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.2, pp.390-419. ISSN 1409-4703.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/aie.v23i2.51618.

Organizations constitute the ubiquitous environment, created by the human being and integrated by him, which, in the course of his evolution and development, has provided him with the highest states of satisfaction and well-being: social, economic, political, cultural and educational, among others. To achieve such satisfaction and well-being, the organization requires a structure that guarantees that it achieves its objectives. What has been stated is the fundamental purpose of this essay: to analyze the models proposed by organization theory and management scientists, to define and study the structure, with the aim of demonstrating that such models have limited themselves to pointing out the relevance of the structure and its elements, without actually establishing a proposal for its design. In order to fulfill this purpose and objective, a documentary theoretical investigation was demonstrated, which defined the main published works on: Structure of Organizations as a study unit. And as categories of analysis are established: delimitation of the concept of structure, elements of the structure and structure model. The results of the essay allowed to identify six models, by means of which both the theory of the organization and the scientists have determined: what is the structure, what are its components and how they are configured, to achieve the objectives of the organization. Based on the achievements obtained, a proposal for a structure model for the educational organizations of the Costa Rican educational system is developed. In the conclusions, the importance of the structure for organizations and in particular for educational organizations is highlighted, clarifying that the model proposed for the Costa Rican educational system represents an effort, whose main purpose is to induce and deepen the study of the structure in the schools.
