organic matrix
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The matrix structure is a type of organizational reporting structure set up like a matrix or grid. Unlike a traditional hierarchy wherein employees report to a boss, in a matrix organization, employees report to a functional manager and a product/project manager.

Detailed explanation-2: -Matrix management is a form of organizational structure in which employees report to multiple bosses rather than one. It does away with the one-boss, vertical system that most firms use and brings about a system where employees have multiple superiors along both functions and project lines.

Detailed explanation-3: -The matrix organization structure can also sometimes lead to work overload on team members since their project workload is often in addition to their regular functional duties. Employees might suffer burnout or overlook or fail to complete tasks or have their quality of work suffer due to time constraints.
