The present paper indicates the important factors that should be considered in the post-pandemic environment to make organizations more effective.

Introduction

Organizational effectiveness can be understood as "the extent to which an organization achieves its goals" (Steers, 1977). Due to its multidimensional and paradoxical character (Cameron, 1986), an organization can be simultaneously judged effective by one criterion and ineffective by another. Mott (1972) defined organizational effectiveness as "the ability of an organization to mobilize its centers of power, for action, production, and adaptation".
