  • Social organization or social institution, refers to a group of social positions, connected by social relations, performing a social role. It can also be defined in a narrower sense as any institution in a society that works to socialize the groups or people in it. Common examples include education, governments, families, economic systems, religions, and any people or groups that you have social interaction with. It is a major sphere of social life organized to meet some human needs. They are patterns of relationships (Role, Status) which is expected to be maintained as per certain rules and regulations, with a focus and functions to be performed, and to bring about social change/order. Eg. family, religion, economy, polity. Social organizations can take many forms, depending on the social context. For example, for family context the corresponding social organization is the extended family. In the business context a social organization may be an enterprise, company, corporation, etc. In the educational context, it many be a school, university, etc. In the political context it may be a government, political party, etc. Commonly, experts officially recognize these five major social institutions that have been evident in some way in every civilization in history: government, religion, education, economy, and family. To give a simple example: productive institutions are dependent on educational institutions for a skilled workforce, educational institutions are dependent on the government for their funding, and government institutions, in turn, rely on productive institutions to create wealth to finance government spending. Sociologists call this institutional interdependence. Max Weber concluded that in the history of mankind, organizations evolved towards rationalization in the form of a rational-legal organization, like bureaucracy.

Algunos ejemplos de esto incluyen educación, gobiernos, familias, sistemas económicos, religiones, comunidades y cualquier persona o grupo de personas con los que se tenga una interacción. Se trata de una esfera de vida social más amplia que se organiza para satisfacer necesidades humanas. Las organizaciones sociales pueden tomar varias formas dependiendo del contexto social.
