Abstract: Organizational restructuring has become a reflexive managerial response to performance challenges, yet evidence suggests that frequent reorganizations rarely deliver intended outcomes and often inflict substantial hidden costs. Research indicates that fewer than one in four reorganizations succeed in improving performance, while more than half result in productivity declines during implementation. Beyond financial and operational metrics, chronic restructuring erodes the relational fabric essential for sustainable performance—disrupting manager-employee relationships, undermining psychological safety, and preventing the trust-building necessary for genuine organizational agility. This article examines the prevalence and drivers of excessive reorganization, documents its organizational and individual consequences, and presents evidence-based alternatives grounded in human-centric leadership principles. Drawing on research in organizational behavior, change management, and workplace psychology, the analysis offers practitioners a diagnostic framework and actionable interventions that prioritize relational stability, capability development, and authentic organizational learning over structural reshuffling.
