Organizational structure and workplace culture are definitely correlated. If a company wants to use a matrix structure it is important that there be a relaxed environment where everyone feels they can express their ideas freely and without consequence. If a worker has two managers, that means they will have pressure on them form two places. So it is important that they be able to talk about their problems and what they think is the best way forward. This will also help to develop a better relationship between the managers and the managed. If the managed feels like they are appreciated then they won’t mind having two bosses, but if they fell like they are getting yelled at on two front then they will be more likely to internalize it and be a less productive worker.
