a. pure-line structure
 all the persons at a given level
perform same type of work. The
divisions are solely for the purpose
of control and direction.
Pure –line structure
b. Departmental line structure
or functional-line
 Managers would not longer be responsible
for performing a wide range of activities, but
rather could direct all effort toward a
particular functional responsibility.

 A system in which the various functions

involved in supervising a worker are divided
into separate tasks performed by specialists.
Departmental Line Structure or Functional-Line Structure
2. Line and Staff
 Line and staff structure combines the line
structure where information and approvals
come from top to bottom, with staff
departments for support and specialization.
 Are more centralized
 Managers of line and staff have authority
over their subordinates, but staff managers
have no authority over line managers and
their subordinates.
3. Flat and Tall Structure
 Flat Organizational Structure
Flat organizations focus on empowering
employees rather than adhering to the chain
of command. By encouraging autonomy and
self-direction, flat structures attempt to tap
into employees’ creative talents and to solve
problems by collaboration.
FLAT ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE
 Tall Organizational Structure
 One long chain of command similar to the
military.
As an organization grows, the number of
management levels increases and the
structure grows taller.
 Managers form many ranks and each has a
small area of control.
 Have more management levels than flat
structures
4. Matrix Structure
 Matrix Organizational Structure is one that
combines horizontal and vertical lines of
authority and also functional and product-
departments
