Dutch term or phrase: werkorganisatie
I found this definition, but can't come up with a translation.
Een werkorganisatie is een verzameling samenwerkende actoren die wordt onderscheiden op grond van een stabiel patroon van samenwerkingsrelaties. I reckon it's Flemish.

working organisation


Explanation:
...would work here, IMHO. I don't think 'werkorganisatie' is a standing term with a well-defined, general meaning.

The purpose of the study is to analyse the meanings and valuations the members of a ** working organisation ** attach to organisational communication and to construct them into a model of meanings of organisational communication.
