3. STRUCTURE OF ORGANISATION
Structure of Organisation is the established
pattern of relationship among various job
positions of the enterprise. The term
organisation structure is defined as “ a system
of job positions, the roles assigned to them
and the authority relationship among the
various positions”.
4. ELEMENTS OF ORGANISATION
STRUCTURE
While building an organisational structure, the
following elements are to be taken into
consideration;
Job design
Departmentation
Span of Control
Delegation of Authority
5. JOB DESIGN
The various tasks to be accomplished under
each job and the qualities, skills and
qualifications required to undertake that job is
specified in job design. Such a design will help
in formulating a good organisational structure.
6. DEPARTMENTATION
Once the jobs are defined, similar jobs are
grouped together to form a department.
Co-ordination of different jobs becomes much
easier if similar jobs under one department
and one manager.
7. SPAN OF CONTROL
After departments are formed, the number of
jobs a manager can effectively supervise and
control are to be determined. It is called span
of control. It also clarifies the chain of
command and establishes who will report to
whom.
8. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
After defining jobs, and grouping them into
departments, the next step would be to
determine the powers of an individual to
perform the job. Where the number of jobs in
the department are large, and exercising
authority personally on all matters becomes
difficult, part of the authority may be
transferred to subordinates. This transmission
of decision making power is called delegation
of authority.
