This paper combines the views of 50+ research articles on organisational hierarchy. Upon a thorough analysis of the literature, six subthemes emerged, namely Age differences, Impact on women, Abuse of power, Conflict management, Digital workplaces and Covid-19 . These were analysed in detail to see the effects they had on organisational hierarchy. Abuse of power and conflict within and across hierarchies was understood through a multitude of research papers concerning the two. We also looked at how age and gender roles and stereotypes have an influence on how the individuals are treated and the amount of advancement opportunities that they get due to them belonging to a certain category. Lastly, to keep up with the current times, we also viewed how hierarchies fluctuate and modify due to the existence of digital workplaces and how they have had drastic changes in the organisation since they started using digital workplaces in the Covid-19 era.
