Default Anyone, please help me with this...

Why does formal structure make some workplaces more effective, while it inhibits others?

Maybe the answer is that some people perform better in highly structured situations, while others don't.

There's a difference between asking for help and asking someone to write the answer for you!

Think about it: why do you, personally, think that a structured workplace benefits some and inhibits others? Don't fuss over whether it's the right or wrong answer. You've been asked for an opinion piece - hence the second person, direct address of 'you'.

To toss some ideas around: everyone is an individual, and as such, everyone has individual preferences and needs. It's productive to have large demographics that encompass different stereotypes, but in an ideal world everyone would have a workplace that catered to their own needs. What would produce better results than that?
If you can't 'imagine' this question, try and think of it in a more relatable example. School's a very structured environment - assuming you went, did you notice that some children responded well to routine and heirachy, whilst others found it boring and intolerable? It doubtlessly has a lot to do with the environment in which they were raised, but also their personality. Some people can work 9-5 and slowly up the career ladder at Deskbound & Snoring ltd. because they're reassured by the structure and the regimentation or pressure brings out the best in them. Other people can find that archetypal workplace uninspiring, demoralising and unsatisfactory. A lot of people seem to feel overlooked in their desk jobs because the formality doesn't allow them to exhibit their full creativity or potential.

I'd take a handful of jobs wherein the 'workplace' is formally structured, and then think about the two simple types of people that would take those jobs, the dominant and the passive.

If not, do it. I'm beginning to get the impression that 50% of TF is populated by literate parrots/sentient mirrors.
