Abstract
This study is a first empirical application of Moore and
Haga's probabilistic baseline generator of role differentiation
in formal organizations. It employed time series data
on a single sample to investigate the effects of variables
other than organization growth on the evolution of organization
complexity under an assumption that both members and
roles were interchangeable. The resulting statistic was a
percentile role differentiation indicator (PRDI-V) that was
reliable for organization sizes above approximately 75. The
theoretical interest and practical organizational auditing
utility of the PRDI are discussed.
