Abstract:

This study provides a synthesis through an in-depth examination of the existing matrix organizational structure and crisis management literature. The article aims to focus on how the matrix organizational structure can effectively respond to crisis situations. For this purpose, the basic principles, advantages and disadvantages of the matrix organizational structure will be discussed. For this purpose, existing research was examined, and examples showing how matrix organizational structures in different sectors adapt to crises were compiled. This analysis will help understand the effectiveness of the matrix organizational structure in crisis management. This study touches on an important issue: companies need to respond quickly and effectively to crises in today's complex and rapidly changing world. A matrix organizational structure can increase department coordination, enable rapid decision-making, and use resources more effectively. With these advantages, matrix organizational structures can play an important role in crisis management. The study guides business leaders, academics, and crisis management experts on effectively using matrix organizational structures in crises. The prevalence of this problem can be demonstrated by the increasing use of matrix organizational structures in crisis management in many sectors today. However, the lack of a comprehensive review of this subject in the existing literature increases the importance of this article. It will also provide recommendations for further examination of the relationship between matrix organizational structures and crisis management as a basis for future research. The study will be an important resource for readers who want to understand better the role of matrix organizational structures in crisis management.
