The key side effect of organizational controls in a large mechanistically structures organization is to feel dehumanized. All of the workers are expected to work like a machine in such organizational structure (Uhl-Bien, Schermerhorn, & Osborn, 2014, p. 372). For instance, it can be stated that the United States Postal Service is a huge organization and the workers there are always controlled for providing the best postal services to the users.
