different ideas are then evaluated to come up with the most feasible, suitable, and acceptable idea. In today's increasingly complex work environment, the diversity of ideas encourages creativity and innovation, which can in turn drive organisational performance (Yang & Konrad, 2011; Bell, 2012). Diversity is crucial for not only organisational performance, but also employee empowerment and motivation. When organisational members are given an opportunity to contribute their ideas, they feel appreciated, acknowledged, and valued (Danowitz, Hanappi-Egger & Mensi-Klarbach, 2012).

structure often enhances autonomy and empowers individuals at lower levels of the organization to make decisions, which may in turn minimize bureaucracy as well as foster creativity and innovation (Felin & Powell, 2016). Organizations such as Google and 3M have benefited significantly from such structures. Nonetheless, allowing extreme autonomy, especially to individuals that are not accountable, may cause an organization to lose control over the working and affect decision-making (Felin & Powell, 2016). In addition, decision-making may be slowed since different perspectives must often be taken into consideration (Bunderson et al., 2016).
