Question

Is the following a social organization or a task-oriented organization?

Answer 1

It would be task-oriented because teachers and parents don't often get together to have social get togethers.

Answer 2

Answer: Task-oriented organization

A parent-teacher association is an example of a task-oriented organization. The members are not united by affinity, but by a common goal, which is to ensure that students are educated in the best way possible. These associations are unlikely to organize social gatherings simply for fun. Instead, they are more likely to organize projects that help them achieve their goals.
