Organizational Structure

Every organisation made up of more than one person will need some form of organisational structure. An organisational chart shows the way in which the chain of command works within the organisation.  Organisation chart contains information on the structure of the organisation, flow of authority, spheres of responsibility, line and staff relations and name and status of personnel in different positions. 

• Communication is faster and more accurate. The message has to pass through less people.

• Managers are closer to all employees so that they can understand the business better.

• Spans of control will be wider, meaning that the manager would have to take care of more subordinates, this makes:

            •    The manager delegate more, and we already know the advantages of delegation.
            •         Workers gain more job satisfaction and feel trusted because of delegation.
